With this (edit: and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14346174) you're recreating the very dynamic on HN itself that stories like this describe happening in the workplace, which leave so many of us shaking our heads in disbelief. I don't mean the disbelief of 'that never happens' but the disbelief of 'who does this'. No, it is not "perfectly normal". It's gross and beyond the pale.

Since we just had a whole conversation with you about bad HN comments and the very next day you come out with this, I've banned this account.
