I mean as a passive observer it’s a little weird. You’re HN celebrity, aren’t you? It’s definitely an anomaly

  I don't believe you know anything about me, but do go on.

    You’ve been an ‘influencer’ here for 25 years. Why so defensive?
    • tptacek 3mo ago
      I don't feel defensive but that is kind of a weird question for you in particular to ask, isn't it? (This site has not existed for 25 years.)

        hmm, ok. kind of odd to put yourself out there for so many years, then be willing to die on this issue, given the political state of things. but, you be you Edit: I can't respond to your reply, but my original question was why is it so important to you, and you didn't answer. But, I guess I'll go back through your comments to find out. Us 'passive observers' are just trying to figure out who's on which team. Feel free to ignore us. No offense intended

          "Weird that you sound so defensive, given you're willing to die on this issue and ruin your reputation". Do you hear yourself? What's especially funny about this is that you haven't taken the time to even figure out who I am or where I'm coming from on this issue. It's pure uncut schoolyard behavior. Maybe reflect a bit! Nobody's reading this thread but us at this point.
