> You make it sound like he's murdering people

You are putting words into my mouth.

He clearly wrote:

> I've made a ton of submissions in the past 8 months and experimented with various combinations of stories/titles that the HN audience might like, without always being successful. (Probably one out of every 4-5 submissions turned into an angry mob haha)

Nevertheless he kept going and tried, by his own admission, to micro-optimise his submissions to get visibility.

Maybe my sense of ethics is different than yours, but please don't put words in my mouth.
