Hacker News Reader

I agree, but what I find odd is how a submitter of a story can also be implicated (ignoring the point the submitter is actually the author in this case, I think?)

Why would anyone want to submit stuff to a site if there's a risk they could get banned if people on the site don't like the item? That's what voting and/or flagging are for. Banning should be for abusive behavior, not poor submissions.

Stick to HN, where the entrepreneurial spirit is welcomed :)

Yea i really enjoyed the story, I wouldn't worry about it; they seem really reactionary.
