I've looked at the data and there is zero evidence that the author gamed HN.

You need to stop slinging accusations at people. Gaming HN is bad. We greatly appreciate your and other users' concern about that, and believe me we share it. But undermining civility on HN is also bad, and that's the bad thing that actually is happening here. Please don't do it anymore, regardless of how weak you think an article is.

I only submitted this as a link to Hacker News, Echo JS and Reddit. Not gaming any system, just sharing what I wrote. Isn't that the point of a blog?

Yes, and it's ok. (I'm a moderator here, btw, so it really is ok.)

The 'gaming' in question was about getting people to upvote one's stuff. That's against the rules, but we saw no evidence you did it. This is why I chided the user who made that accusation. It's corrosive of the civility we strive for here when people make accusations without real grounds for them.
