Even if you're right, please don't post bilious denunciations to HN. Those are a cheap internet commodity that lowers the signal/noise ratio.

It's not personal and I'm not sure why you would attribute malice

If you keep this up I'm going to have to delete my account

He’s pointing out a scam.

You might not believe it’s a scam, but it’s a valid opinion.

Maybe try moderating HN if you don’t like the quality of the posts. Up voting and down voting is cute but it’s not moderation.

If you look at this post by cultus you'll see how to share the exact opinion you describe, without violating the HN posting guidelines like glibgil's comment did:
