Um...here are our top comments on that thread:
"
Seems weird he mentioned Spike Lee (who did nothing wrong, as far as I can tell) so many times, but didn't name the agency. Seems to hurt the wrong party's reputation.
Additionally, he has no apparent way to contact him."
and "... What! I think his post does no such thing. Spike Lee did nothing wrong and the post shows nothing but respect for him." Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6811060
Spike Lee literally just said the same thing we said. but when we said, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with spike lee, it's like, cool. But when he says, "this has nothing to do with me" suddenly he's the bad guy.
Just goes to show, if someone accuses you of something, you should apologize for it!! I guess he should have written "I've never met this person in my life...but I'm really sorry about what happened!"
live and learn...
By the way. If anyone here has any problems with anyone...I'm really sorry!
I don't think the top comment says what you think it says. It is possible that:
You can complain to a CEO that one of their employees did something wrong, in the course of the employee's duties. The CEO then bears responsibility, even though they may personally have had no part in it.
The top comment on a HN post is not a consensus opinion. I saw that post but didn't agree with it, but nor did I downvote it.
A top commenter doesn't speak for everyone. Most people were outraged that the designer was ripped off.
