Out of curiosity (and regardless of the meaning of your comment), are you completely unrelated to the author of the comment you are linking to?

Except the "3" at the end, their pseudonym is identical to yours. Here on HN people do not like fake accounts.



It's mine, I just signed up to join the discussion, but evidently new users get rate-limited to only a few comments, so I've incremented the username by 1 to indicate it's still me.


The rate limiting exists for a reason. It is a bit arrogant of you to assume that your comments are worty of evadin site controls.

And is it actual rate limiting? Try clicking the [link] url, whic should give you a reply text box.

Disclosing company affiliations is polite.

Not making comments in public fora, but letting company spokespeople do it, is a practice I dislike but which I understand having seen the mess you've made with your comments.

The violet blue article is lousy. If there are errors it should be easy enough to find corrections. Take the time to do it properly - find the sources, pull out relevant quotes, build the post. Put that as a blog post and get hits, or put it as an answer in the thread and get upvotes.


This probably means you should stop contributing.


Since you've been busily doing PR for Google lately, I assume you're paid for it. Care to be honest about it?


I'd bet ritikk201 will still be doing google PR 2 weeks later.


No I'm not paid by anyone, can't I just have a different opinion that yours with it being paid PR work?!


Your persistence, repeating the same point, and use of multiple accounts suggest otherwise.


I agree with the point. Does this mean I am now a paid shill? FFS, that's about as ad-hominem as it gets. Stop it.


And this is exactly the sort of stupid, antisocial behavior that leads this site to rely so heavily on hellbanning, terrible though it is.
