Please stop suggesting that people who write comments you don't agree with are shills. Not doing this isn't just a norm here: it's specifically not allowed. If you think you have evidence that I, or anyone else, is a shill, send it to "hn@ycombinator.com". They're very responsive.

What you may not do here is use insinuations about shillage as a rhetorical wedge in public HN threads.
