Not sure what you are trying to get across.

This is the final comment [1] that got Michael’s account banned.

You can see dang’s reply [2] directly underneath his which says:

> We've banned this account.

Lol.

Long story short MO worked for and knew the circle of VCs that pg knew. MO didn’t like them, they didn’t like him calling them out. pg didn’t like him posting about them on HN.

The rest is history.

Hopefully you can see how an egregious conflict of interesting can occur here with sama.

The things that were said and done to destroy Michael O. Church’s reputation were truly vile but I don’t think that can be pinned on a whole community. As far as I can remember, it was a small number of individuals and YC was never proven to be a linking factor.

Dan G does owe the man a huge apology though.
