Sure, send me an email and I'll be glad to.

I wouldn't feel comfortable writing about it, it's not illegal but it just doesn't feel right.

Why wouldn't it feel right? What an odd thing to say.

From HN comment guidelines:

> The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: civil and substantial.

Your claim that this is fiction, without any evidence or "proof", as you put it, is neither substantial nor thoughtful.

I am genuinely curious as to why you would make a splash in the comment section with this and then not explain yourself.

You're willing to make provocative claims here in public, but only back them up privately?

Then please don't make provocative claims in public in the first place. It's just trolling then. As the saying goes, put up or shut up.

    • Who are you? And yes, there is something wrong. You posted simply:

      > This is fiction.

      This is against HN guidelines:

      > Please don't post shallow dismissals... A good critical comment teaches us something.

      Your comment is a perfect example of a shallow dismissal that teaches us nothing. dang doesn't need to add any rules -- you on the other hand need to review the guidelines. "Enjoy!" reading them.
