And yet you haven't sent me any emails, hatware. My door is always open, why not practice what you preach rather than be repeatedly harsh and make a scene over existing community norms? Crowley subsequently disclosed the affiliation, we're good.

Maybe you're newer here; It's a courteous social more of the HN community to be actively transparent about potential conflicts of interest.

I'm actually a fan of Crowley, he's got quite a brain.

You get what you give. I don't think I need to send emails to the one who has no problem calling others out in public.

It's pretty simple, I requested that concerns about conflict of interest are taken offline. But, here you are, making snide remarks in public at another person. Zero for two.

For what it's worth, I spoke up on this because I would be quite annoyed if someone did not give me the courtesy of correcting a mistake in private before broadcasting publicly about it. It doesn't matter if it comes from a stranger or a trusted friend. I can tell you aren't picking this up, but I'm happy to explain it ad nauseum so you can be a better individual to your peers.

From what I can tell, the "norm" is to gang up on new folks without thinking critically about it. It's reddit with less complexity and more ego.

You get what you give.

> why not practice what you preach

From your profile: "I subscribe to the ideology of live and let live."

There is a lot of value in the CoI being visible quickly. While with an email there could be an unbound delay in the CoI being visible. And often visibility for such things drops off quite hard.

If 90% of the impressions happen within an hour of the post happening and it takes 2 hours for the CoI being visible, then 90% of people probably weren't aware of it.
