>Until there are real-world facts to back this story up: police report, pictures of any wound, etc. please take it with a grain of salt. On 4chan you can find a picture of a room, with the window broken in, along with a butterfly knife and red baseball cap that resembles the ones worn by sneed.
Link?
That room looks extremely American to me. Cookiengineer is in Germany.

I have been on the internet for a very long time. Someone telling a story, no matter how emotional or dramatic is merely doing that: telling a story. Until there are real-world facts to back this story up: police report, pictures of any wound, etc. please take it with a grain of salt. There are many implicit biases on the internet and not all of them are obvious. I find it plausible that some people who browse 4chan…

Most people don't walk around recording evidence all day long. Which attackers know and make use of. So the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and a good system acknowledges that. In this particular case, there seems to have been evidence submitted to the police, so why you would say there is none is strange to me.

Tbh I don’t think it’s particularly relevant whether or not he can convince online people whether he was physically attacked. There is clearly evidence of online harassment and that is enough to justify him stepping down.

It says it right in the article too...
My error. However the article isn’t very well written. There’s a giant subheading which says “Doorstep 'harassment' prompts departure” After which I wrote the comment above. And if someone was stabbed by someone, I’d expect that to be earlier in the article and in the title rather than “Audacity fork maintainer quits after alleged harassment by 4chan”

>These are serious allegations. Allegations of such seriousness should require proof of equally serious merit before conclusions are drawn No, they don't. This isn't a court of law, _HN_ certainly isn't the cretin-pit that 4chan is, and it fits well within 4chan's broader reputation as a magnet for ill-adjusted harassers to do something as stupid as this. No one here is going to try to stab a 4channer, or dox a poste…
> No, they don't. Why not?

According to the github post [1] there was an attempt on his life with a knife. All kinds of police involved now. The github post was flagged on HN for an unknown reason. [1] https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity/issues/99
Plenty of 4channers read HN, and of course they'd mass flag a story putting them in a bad light.
