Fun fact 4: OP (notamanager) account is brand new, these are his first posts (not that its not probable), yet, here he/she is with all the fun facts and actively commenting and making a investigative counter case.

If you have an issue with the content of the OP's comments, you should address it directly. Dismissing a comment because an account is new is weak.

If that was true, HN wouldn’t make their name green. The fact that their name is green is an indicator from HN that their comments should be scrutinized.

Great. Now do that. Scrutinize. Rather than complain. All three points the OP made are entirely factual statements. If you detect bias, please inform us why?

Throwaway accounts are discouraged in the site guidelines:

>Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.

This user isn't revealing sensitive information, and it seems like they are trying to hide a conflict of interest.

This is like the definition of ad hominem. Engage the argument, why does it matter who is presenting it?

The community guidelines are addressed by other users below...

- THE name is green for a reason. - OP can declare in a public domain that he has no conflict of interest by any direct or indirect means.

As a long time member of this community, it is a simple and just request. You may choose to diverge the attention elsewhere for your own motives or beliefs.

OP: please declare that you are free from any conflict of interest.

Thank You.

Well, are they facts or falsehoods?
