LOL. An account with these as the only comments and no submissions? Man this place is so weird. It's like you're at a party, and then some guy can scream at you from across the room while wearing a Richard Nixon mask and everyone goes "Oh yeah that is true." Never questioning why the guy is wearing a mask at a party.

Anyway, I think you need to look up the words "tirade" and "incomprehensible"

Looks like you got some haters... The only reason to make a throw away in order to bash you - deservedly or not I don't know - is because you know this person and they don't want to remove their Nixon mask and risk a real life confrontation.

tldr: Welcome to the Internet

I did not create this account as a throwaway. I just don't have the inclination to comment on HN much and was lurking for a long time until recently. As proof I point you to my Reddit account of the same name which has a great deal of activity and which is reasonably well recognised and regarded in certain communities. I say this to demonstrate that I am not creating burner personas for the sole purpose of starting flame wars - but I did think it was worth stating in this discussion that Zed has succeeded in discrediting himself in some programming circles.
