The testicle speaks for itself [1]. He has held a serious political grudge against VC way over a decade back [2], the earliest mention of the JWZ testicles appearing on HN that I could find is over 9 years old [3].

It really doesn't. It says he hates users from HN but it says nothing about why. Is it really just that he doesn't like the traffic?

If it's because he has a grudge against VCs, which is more understandable, why is he taking it out on HN users?

It's a small form of protest. Make people uncomfortable.

What's the point in protesting if nobody witnessing your protest has any idea what you're protesting?
