That happened?

Ok, look, I don't count it a good thing, but I'd been assuming it was an automatic mechanism that kicks in when you take too many downvotes to one post. And my views are outright Marxist, not quasi-Marxist, but on some level, figuring out how to speak clearly across the massive inferential gap of "everyone else thinks Elizabeth Warren is solidly leftist and hasn't read all the same background literature as me" is my problem.

And besides which, I did get a number of emails based on that "Who wants to be hired?" post, and based on the "Who's hiring?" post for April I responded to an ad that ended up finding me a very nice new job.

So, overall, thanks for being angry on my behalf, but HN is really here for the business and technical stuff, for which it works well for me, and it really is my job to make my own points clear in a discussion.
