Because the smartest people in the room got their asses kicked in the most public way by an adversary that they claimed is an incapable drunk.

Now they are embarrassed.

Would you please not create bulk accounts to post with here? Throwaways are fine if there's some specific purpose, e.g. something personally sensitive, but we ban users who do it routinely. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Hacker News is a community. You don't have to use your real name, of course, but users should have some consistent identity that other users can relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be an entirely different forum.
