Whoa - no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are, or how strongly a topic makes you feel, you can't post like this to Hacker News. It's vastly against the site guidelines.
If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46166929 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44682844). If you keep posting like this, we're going to end up banning you. I don't want to ban you because your account also posts good things, so if you'd please fix this, we'd be grateful.

Yes, Boom is a YC startup, and the GP comment was unacceptable and the sort of thing we ban accounts for. Both are the case, and that doesn't change depending on who a comment is talking about.
Edited for civility. But the sentiment remains.
