Hacker News Reader

We've banned this account for repeated abuse using sockpuppets. I explained this at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11904067, but want to add here that this (seemingly in-passing, but really the point) smear of Y Combinator could not be more of a lie. Telling such lies in a persuasive-sounding way, while never substantiating them, is this troll's specialty.

We go out of our way to moderate Hacker News less, not more, when people criticize YC. But that doesn't mean anything goes, and in this case the abuse crossed the line a long time ago.

Could Sacks have executed this strategy without the macro having been created and run?
