They aren't necessarily implying it's a sockpuppet, but that they currently represent Atlassian PR.

It's obvious what the implication is, yes. It's also not the charitable interpretation that the HN guidelines suggest. Especially when using one's five-month-old account to talk smack to people one has never met, let alone know where they work.

Hi Mike. The fact that you discard my comment based on the measure of "karma" or how "old" my account is just as childish and "talking smack" as what you insinuate I am doing. You believe you are on the side of good moral but you are merely on the side of the self proclaimed strong.
