Why are you attacking the commenter's character and chose not to respond to a single concern they brought up? They've asked some good questions and AFAICT they're legitimately concerned and only acting in good faith.

Your claim that they've violated HN guidelines is misplaced, at best.

Who's side are you on? Are you defending the guy with conflicting interests who is on the board and simultaneously selling a tor removal kit?

From my reading, they didn't claim to take either side nor comment on the article in question, but made a meta-comment. Which is okay to do.

Yeah but it sucks for the rest of us who were hoping for informed adult convo but instead must witness this.

I have yet to read a single HN thread which does not involve some sort of meta-commenting or tangential conversation, exactly like what is happening in this thread.
