Actually it doesn't. Readers would need a link to what you're talking about so they could see for themselves what happened and make up their own minds about it, including whether it's relevant here. Sinister complaints like this never come with links because that would reveal the other side of the story, which is rarely anything like how the sinister complainer is framing it.

Someone complained to me about this a few weeks ago, and it does seem like a trollish username, which is not allowed here: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...
