Hacker News Reader

I got "dong markup" in my RSS reader from pull requests to zedshaw/mongrel2 today. So, the trolling was very much in public view.

As Zed mentions in the article, he contributed to the project, which is why it showed up in your RSS feed.

Actually, the RSS feed was for zedshaw/mongrel2. It showed up because these trolls were spamming pull requests to a legitimate project.
