I've flagged this. It is against the rules to explain why you did that but since there is already one 'HN staff downranked this post' comment, here is my reason: I'm getting a bit tired of anonymous low karma accounts posting 'just asking questions' kind of things on HN attacking YC, YC companies, or in this case a person closely associated with YC. Just the tone alone sets my hair on end: "fail upward". That's just nasty.

This isn't the first time this has happened. If you want to come out and make insinuations about a person you should at a minimum flesh out your profile and contribute more than just your 'let's discuss this person' posts and even then it is - in my view - bad form.

edit: absolutely hilarious to see this flagged.

I regret my wording in the title, but it seems harsh to flag something when I’ve engaged in a good faith in the comments simply because I have low karma.

I’ve done a fair bit of open source work and now I work at a FAANG company so I’d like to stay anonymous. Does knowing that make you less likely to flag stuff in the future? It likely shouldn’t…
