What's up tlrobinson?

I wrote a stop gap hack to get stuff done while I prototyped the JSONloops format and merge algo. tmpvar and h1jinx then helped out with writing an irrklang wrapper to get low latency playback when my side was ready (see: https://github.com/Marak/JSONloops/blob/master/vendor/play.j... ). Now that both things "work" I want to improve the project.

Why the snarky comment? I'm just trying to have some fun with a little side project. :-(

Just not sure why you feel the need to package up this kind of trivial stuff and spam HN with it (under various usernames, for some reason: http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=marak http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=JimBastard)

Edit: ...then complain when the moderators decide it's crap: @paulg, I'm sure you don't care when sleeping on your pile of money, but the people moderating Hacker News are a cancer. Your site is doomed (https://twitter.com/maraksquires/status/67123612653592576)

Edit2: Shouldn't feed the troll. I'm done here.

That account has been silent-banned for awhile ( as most of my accounts have been for flaming / trolling people). I cannot use it anymore. Notice all the submissions are missing?

What would you like me to do?

I don't understand why you are hating on me. I've never done anything to you or interacted with you in anyway.

If you consider the work I did on https://github.com/marak/JSONloops to be "trivial", then I implore you to build your own multi-user real-time audio sequencer that work's in the browser and is written in 100% JavaScript.

Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to flame or troll people on Hacker News?

It's just super lame. tlrobinson has been hating on #nodejs for a while because it went against some of work he put into CommonJS.

It's really sad to see someone trying to derail an effort like this over some petty personal vendetta.

Awesome! I look forward to meeting you one day. I'd love to hear your reasons for having a problem with me considering I've never spoken with you before in my life.

I don't know what the deleted post referred to, but I'm certainly not surprised that folks here have a problem with you (without having met you), since you admit above to having had a number of accounts here you used for the purposes of flaming and trolling.

Do you seriously think that is going to endear you to the community?
