> It's such a drag that HN comments now become news stories.

Oh, c'mon. This isn't like some quiet "just my buddies" forum. HN, whether you like it or not, is a place where "movers and shakers" communicate what's happening to them or what they think, so of course it's going to become news. It's like complaining that people actually pay attention to your tweets.

> I didn't even realize Heroku was the company they were claiming I'd banned them to help.

People may have insinuated that YC/HN was/is engaging in shill-esque activities (it's an easy thing to do), but I don't think anybody representing Nodejitsu made this claim, nor do I think they would if pressed.

Your boss made that claim. In public, on HN. Graham responded, literally to that comment, by unbanning Nodejitsu.

Can we stop talking about this now?

I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, but I scoured those comments and I'm really not seeing it. If it's there, please, quote it, and I'll own it.
