https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47847129 - If vinserello is you, then why did you comment on this variation of the submission as if you were uninvolved in it? It's dishonest, and will make people who notice it uninterested in your work and more likely to flag your submissions.

Yes, sorry, I just wanted to clarify a point in a comment. I thought the comment itself was clear enough about my involvement. I actually said something like "let us know what you would change in the scenario..." We didn't mean to be intrusive, just to share a result of our work that we think could be useful to other researchers in the ABM field. I apologize again if we presented it too "aggressively".

There's no reason to lie, people can read the comment I'm referencing but I'll quote it here:

>> What about modelling geopolitical scenarios?

Which is nothing like your description of it. And then your collaborator, or someone using their name, also commented with:

>> Good! Really interesting idea!

Those comments are written as if they are not involved in the project. It's dishonest, not "aggressive".
