This is the fourth time you've submitted this URL.

1) Deleting then resubmitting links is a bannable offense on HN.

2) Medium.com links are penalized so there's little benefit in attempting to maximize votes, as it's incredibly unlikely that it will hit the front page.

3) Seriously, this article is the one you want to promote so badly?!

1. Noted, will not be deleted or reposted 2. Thank you for the insight 3. Haha it's my best work!

> I have an idea to discourage deletion and resubmission. Apply a -1 penalty to the deletion of a story. It's small enough to not penalize too much honest mistakes, and it's a signal that deletions are bad. (If the user still continues to delete and resubmit, use the current method.)

And then you post that person's identity in your public blog and repeatedly link to it on here? That's stalker behavior. Maybe you should get help on developing your in-person social skills; in the meantime you should definitely get a friend to explain to you why this is not a cool thing to do.

She is fully supportive of the post and the use of her Twitter handle.

I appreciate your concern for my stalker tendencies and social skills.

Creepy indeed. The last two sentences make me think the entire post is just an attempt at getting this person's attention.
