Whoa, criticizing YC is fine but "I hope you fail" is the sort of thing we ban accounts for. How nasty. Please stick to the site guidelines if you want to keep commenting here.
If "protecting investments" were the goal we would moderate these threads completely differently. Actually the bar is higher for me to intervene in a YC thread; and I'd have replied to you the same way (apart from mentioning YC) in a thread which had nothing to do with YC startups.
Your comment broke at least these site guidelines:
"Be kind."
"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."
"When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. 'That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3' can be shortened to '1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
"Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents."
"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."
You also have a history of using HN for flamewar and for political battle. We've had to ask you more than once in the past to stop. We ban accounts that keep this up, so if you would please take the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd appreciate it.
Alright I get it and I am sorry, I will try to do better in the future.
But for my curiosity, does the rules not apply for the posters as well? Is it ok to post stuff that is inherently racist or promotes segregation?
For example, if someone would have made a dating site for nazis would that be ok on HN as a post and when the obvious comments are coming, I guess those would get warned and removed?
