there are people starving in other places besides Africa. I see you just did a knee jerk reaction and didn't answer my query.
What's so important about N and this twitter name that the world has to stop just for him to get it back?
- thelambentonion 13y agoThe world doesn't have to stop, Twitter just needs to give the original owner his handle back. The evidence that the original owner was extorted to give it up has been making the rounds on HN for the past day or so. Believe it or not, the author received a $50,000 offer for "@N" before, so there's non-sentimental reason behind it as well.
- EpicEng 13y agoObviously Africa was just used as an example... Who said that this story is "important" anyway? It's a story for sure, and it's interesting that someone would be offered 50k for a twitter handle and then have it stolen, but you're the one propping up a straw man. No one ever said this is an "important story".
