The post will never reach those it is about, and it insults those it speaks to. It only reaches those who think it is about someone else. It's a long subtweet catering to a sanctimonious ingroup.

It looks like the post won't reach anyone at all, because someone got offended and flagged it. That's right, someone from the open-minded, knowledge-loving HN crowd actually flagged this thing.

I believe you, and can see how it looks like I implied it was you, but that wasn't my intention.

Nah, I didn't think so. Just wanted to make it clear that a harsh critic can be against shutting down the object of the criticism.
