Organizational gaslighting?

I personally hate the term “gaslighting”, but it could be apt here.

Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments to Hacker News.

I’d say that’s a very substantive comment. The fact that you don’t want to hear it does not affect the substance. Of course, I realize I’m saying this on a site that literally makes unpopular comments harder to read lol, and where I’m only allowed to post ~5 comments at a time, meanwhile nobody will tell me why.

Edit: I just took a look at your recent comments and they seem mostly fine—and some are very good (thank you!), so I've removed the rate limit from your account. I'm taking a bit of a risk in doing that but if you'd meet us halfway in good faith, that should be more than enough to solve the problem.
