10+ years of posting doesn't give you a pass to skirt the HN guidelines.

    Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we'll look at the data.
Them's the... guidelines.

Please do better.
