Is it still plagiarism if the original author hides his writing behind a pseudonym?

Yes. Plagiarism is stealing another authors ideas, words, or expressions and representing them as one’s own work.

And I’m pretty sure comments like this are against HN policy as they degrade the quality of discourse.

Is it still theft if the thief hides his actions behind an alias?
