Mate he's welcome to not respond. No privacy has been violated unless OP decides to respond.

Presuming innocence is for the court and legal systems. I am neither.

I am not forcing him to answer and I will of course respect the decision if he doesn't want to.

I'm saying it's an inappropriate question. Their privacy wouldn't be violated even if they did respond, but it's just an uncourteous thing to ask.

I disagree. Let's leave it there I guess.

What do you do with your accounts?

Not much really. Just shuffling debt around so that creditors don't feel the need to claim it back in one go mostly. Freelance income as of end of last year, grinding the debt down. Wasn't getting anywhere with it at a fixed salary job.

I realise you're proving a point rather than this being relevant so cba typing any further, here ya go https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35016037

So, the fact that you personally don't care who knows your private information, means that there is no such thing as private information.

This was telegraphed so it was indeed irrelevant to try to illustrate that point.

Not at all. I didn't even bring up my own accounts, you did? Haha.

No.. I do not believe that because I would do something it means everyone should do the same. What an odd conclusion! I believe that when people get fired up they often miss out key little nuggets of useful information.

I had the option to respond or not, I decided to do so.

Just as OP had the same option and decided to do so. Massive shocker there was missing information that would help explain things. My mind is blown. Who could have predicted it. Gosh.

I won't ask OP to ask their pal what they were doing, hacker news might think I'm just being uncouth.

Unfortunately the thread was flagged ages ago and OP won't get any useful information even though we now know it was their friend's account that was shut down and they were done by association.

I don't have a scoob what their next move is, you're trying to catch me in a paper net, and nobody else is here.
