Please don't comment like this on HN. You may not owe "exposure" any better, but you owe HN better if you want to participate here.
If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

I don’t really know what you’re talking about or how it’s relevant (I know you’re referring to an incident that happened outside of HN).
The guidelines clearly ask us to “be kind” and to not “fulminate”. Your comment was flagged by several community members so there’s a pretty strong consensus that it’s not what we want on HN.
That's...wow. What an absolutely disappointing reply.
If "be kind" is an actual value of HN I have yet to see it in almost 15 years of being active on this forum. This community is generally speaking not kind and fulminating is de rigeur as far as I've been able to surmise.
But whatever. I won't bother you or anyone else on here anymore. Good riddance.

(So far as I can tell I have never said the words "die slow" in my life. I think you have me confused with someone else; my hip hop conversance begins and ends with Tribe and De La Soul. It's "Thomas", by the way.)
