His tweet of the announcement is, characteristically, more entertaining than the one in the article from the CEO:

I just discovered Ted Dziuba through your post. This is incredible. He's like a mini Zed Shaw.

This just goes to show that there's exactly zero consequence to running your mouth off on the internet.

Posting this from like my sixth HN account because I keep getting banned for trolling.

I dunno, there's a big difference between "running your mouth off on the internet", and "running your mouth off on the internet, often being right and at least having solid supporting arguments when controversial".

I don't mind people being opinionated, or even wrong - if they also demonstrate they've thought about the subject at hand. Extra credit when people are controversial and entertaining at the same time.

Congrats on the sale Ted, I hope it works out well and was what you wanted - and keep on entertaining (at least some of us) with your public persona/writing.

Well, maybe the consequence is getting bought out by eBay there, minized.

Maybe you should stop?
