Downvoted obviously from a Stanford grad.
If you meant me, I have an undergrad from Oklahoma State University and am working on a Masters at University of Nevada Las Vegas right now.

This is not a guess. This is factual evidence as publicly admitted by many people like Conan O'Brien. And I should add that I also went to a top school, so its not like I am making this stuff up.
That's anecdotal evidence , and you're assuming it also applies to this person.
Spank me if I'm wrong. But it's the only thing that adds up.
Either that or you are a tier-1+n school grad who's been guilt tripped by this article into rethinking your prior maltreatment of the elite school kids.

Nice...I'm surprised you down-voted me when I was agreeing with you. But meh.
I haven't downvoted you, and if you were agreeing with me then the choice of words is...unusual.

I thought I was agreeing with you, you thought I wasn't. I thought you downvoted me, you apparently did not.
I think we the term is "violent agreement". I say we just call it a day before any children get hurt. :)
What's the motivation for writing the article? To me, there's always some way to feel superior by pointing fingers. I think he's driving his own brand of elitism. (Somebody please accuse me of the same thing, and let's see if we can recursively create a singularity)
>What's the motivation for writing the article? Well, he managed to name-drop Stanford, MIT and Google in a short article with the nutritional value of cardboard. Everyone knows that after the first job or two flashing a ivy-league CV around it starts to matter what you have achieved not where you went.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and theorize that, since the start of this topic you've consistently taken Mr. Guo's side, pedantically pointing out rules and etiquette, deflecting from what he actually said, not responding to actual quotes from his writings and posts and your general literal mindedness, that you are indeed one of the name-brand school graduates that he feels is victimized by the boorish snobbishn…
I also like to avoid long, drawn on point-by-point posts, and try to keep things focused by responding to a person's thesis.
Pointing out etiquette has nothing to do with this article, and everything to do with liking HN as a place for civil discussion.
