Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The whole internet loves Kagi, a lovely paid search engine that can find things! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the CEO is an unhinged narcissist who will harangue you in email (hackers.town)

I think a lot of folks, in my experience especially those who didn't grow up with the Internet, don't see online interactions as "real" as offline. I think it explains a lot of the harassing behavior we see online.

For the peanut gallery, if someone asks you to stop communicating with you but you persist, it's harassment regardless of the venue.
