> That's an awful lot of ad hominem. I made some other points too, you know
Given the content of both your comments here, this response is ludicrous.
Without engaging with any of the content of the article you say the author's behavior of objecting to harassment was itself a necessary cause for that harassment, you attack those calling for less anonymity without actually arguing why that would be a bad thing, you appeal to your own standing in the HN community as if that number means something without being willing to back that up, you claim to be unable to refute any attacks because those attacks are only based on hysterical feelings, and then you name the nerds "selling their mothers and friends" as the new bullies because a single person rightly pointed out why your original comment was shit.
I'd say take your own advice: drop the hysteria and try to make an actual argument next time.
