Nice blog post, gp serial entrepreneur founder bro -- what did your investors think of that?

Thank you for the note. It's not a site I used all that often.

Whether you had anything to do with it or not, I have no idea. And, since you didn't follow best practices and tell me directly rather than trying to score points here, there's really no way of knowing whether you're the one who caused the problem in the first place.

I built a new site without Wordpress. That took in less than a day.

I don't imagine you will alter your behavior to align with general best security practices anytime soon.

Are you actually accusing me (slyly couched in weasel words, but still explicitly) of hacking your wordpress blog, then pointing it out on Hacker News to score points?

Yeah, you have a point /s: there's really no way to tell if I hacked your blog or not, nor any way of knowing whether any statement is true or not if you're nihilistic enough, but you're going to have to take my word that I didn't, and clean up your own mess without shifting the blame to me, or demanding I should have helped you. You're the one who chose to use wordpress, not me. FYI, "general best security practices" include DON'T USE WORDPRESS.

What possible evidence or delusional reasons do you have to imply that I hacked your wordpress blog? Is your security really that lax and password that easy to guess? And even if I did, then why would I post about it publicly or notify you privately? You sound pathologically paranoid and antisocially aggressive to make such baseless accusations out of the blue, to try to shift the blame to me for your own mistakes. That makes me glad I didn't try to contact you directly. Funny thing for you to complain about when you don't even openly publish your contact email address on your blog or hn profile like I do, though.
