Hacker News Reader

Well, Vesper is on the front page right now, so I read the question as "DF is blacklisted, so why isn't Vesper?". I believe he presumes that HN has a personal dislike for him and any project he is involved with.

View on HN

If that is what he meant, it is almost still just as silly. Just because we (allegedly) don't like the guy's blog doesn't mean that it only makes sense that we should dislike something else that he is associated with. Not unless he thinks our (alleged) dislike for his blog is not merit based, but rather some unfair form of persecution aimed at him as a person.

Well, he kinda left out the negation that would make that make sense:

""Hacker News hasn’t had a single link to Daring Fireball in months, so I presume DF is blacklisted. But why [not] Vesper?""

but he didn't say that... Besides, he's still misinformed either way :S
