Seriously why was this flagged? Can't there be some level of criticism without it being censored? Jesus christ anything not in the best interest of making YC money will be crushed.
HN moderators are strictly instructed to moderate the site less, not more, when a post says something critical of YC or a YC-funded startup. With a post like this one, we would normally have edited the baity title and downweighted the post for being a rant. But because the rant was against a YC startup, we did neither.
Such a policy doesn't stop people from accusing us falsely, but it does let us answer the accusations in good conscience. I couldn't imagine moderating HN without that.
