Your raw incompetence is truly boundless. The vast majority of my comments were positive until this story fell a number of pages back, when the shills appeared in full effect, you …

Oh my comments weren't moderated down -- while they occasionally dropped below zero, in this discussion I gained some 40 points overall. They were flagged, long after it left the f…

Even more flagging -- tptacek and friends are flagging off posts, leaving their ridiculous replies to things not actually said (the tactic of responding to things not actually stat…

However much you might try to simplify this whole discussion for your weak attempts at clever retorts (that are never actually clever, though you seem to be convinced that they are…

I was clearly referring to a world where being skeptical makes one a troll. Yet again you've given a contrived, useless reply that completely misses the point or the context of the…

Another clever tptacek rejoinder. If being skeptical makes one a troll, then in such a world of extremes, believing must make you a shill. In the world of polarized extremes it is …

HN has been absolutely usurped to become the personal sales vehicles of a few people, and the raw gullibility of many in the crowd has reached incredible proportions. https://news.…

It seems like simple trolling trying to hide behind dissent And every one of your posts comes off as simple shilling. Interesting how that goes, isn't it?

This is exactly the sort of post that you find regarding quick fix solutions and Make Money Fast schemes. Don't believe in the magical cure-all nature of Trend Of The Week? So bitt…

if you really think Patrick is lying I have never said that he is lying. I have implied that the situation might be aggrandized/exaggerated, or a very atypical one-off, absolutely.…

the bigger figures get their share of undeserved hate around here The bigger figures become untouchable , above reproach, around here. There are some figures who are literally toxi…

Instead you are employing classic and cowardly character assassination techniques. This is the "untouchable" argument that attempts to short circuit any critical discussion. If ske…

your attitude is probably limiting your success. Nobody likes negativity, or working with negative people. My earnings are within the top 0.5% in the US. I am very respected in my …

Which of those facts do you contest? Any? Oh, just another tptacek prejudicing reply: They must not be facts if you post some sarcastic comment, right? And yes, you are "Guns blazi…

"Two more paragraphs and not a single testable claim." More attempts at prejudicing claims, which is sort of your comment habit. FACT: you are a cofounder with Patrick FACT: it wou…

Harass him? What an outrageously transparent attempt to prejudice the audience, which in this case happens to also be for your own benefit as well: Good judgment would have been th…

It is notable that you're also , and many would say much more importantly, speaking as a current startup partner (also benefiting from any attention these extraordinary claims deri…

It seems like you are saying "Patio11 clearly is lying about his consulting rates and the sale of BCC proves it." The root of this thread is someone who is a little surprised at ho…

This sounds like a variation of the "you're just jealous" reply, which is an easy, convenient retort to virtually all skepticism for even the most incredible claims. When we want s…

backed up with zero factual evidence This is a recurring theme of these sorts of replies (along with cries of jealousy or ad hominem attacks by people circling the wagons). "Factua…

I hinted at this a while back - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9482269 There is, I think, an awful lot of bullshit that is paraded as fact on HN -- an endless series of aspir…

That is a fantastic blog, thank you very much. I love reading stuff like that. I have the luxury, of sorts, that the farm doesn't really need to support anyone financially (the pri…

Professionally I can essentially work anywhere with a high speed connection, and my wife is in healthcare and can work anywhere near even a somewhat built up area. We would like to…
