I'd suggest you are doing far more damage to the reputation of the board by conflating commentary with free marketing. The comment I replied to was the latter. If advertising is permitted where critique from actual paying users is openly punished, what is that saying about the board?
As for the extremely disappointing asshole comment, coming from a moderator is quite frankly astounding. "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith".
Second, "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." (also in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)
Third, punishing users for discussing something work-related is one of the worst things you can do to damage this place. We want knowledgeable comments, and for most people, our work is what we know the most about. Disincentivizing that is a losing proposition (https://hn.algolia.com/?query=disincent%20by:dang&dateRange=...) so please don't.
