I have stated which parts are incorrect, and why, very clearly, twice. Stop asking.
Yep, I have two HN accounts from clickpass/openid being shut down, I've emailed YC quite a while ago to sort it out. Hopefully they'll get around to it at some point. The accounts posted in different threads - if I'm astroturfing, I'm not doing it very well. Two other accounts also point out holes in the post.
We're both aware you're well known as a fairly unethical individual, you already know what's false, and you're not interested in correcting anything. I think I've engaged with you enough.
Um, wow. I'm "well known as a fairly unethical individual"?! I mean, I know I'm being trolled here, but there's a level of accusation that I simply can't leave unchallenged. Like any human, I'm certainly loaded with faults; I can be brash and opinionated and intimidating and abrasive -- but I also consider myself an intensely ethical person who feels a profound sense of responsibility to my family, my team, my company, my community and my craft. So at the risk of feeding the trolls, can you be specific about why you think me to be unethical?
Edit: Okay, looking at the extensive edits above, it's clear that claiming I'm "fairly unethical" was a reference -- at least in part -- to the pronoun fracas. You may disagree with my position on that (though it's a position I stand by, for whatever it's worth), but I would refer you to cooler discussion on it[1] in hopes that you might at least better understand my perspective.
Yeah, you are unethical. If you had been judged by Sun in the way that you judged Ben Noordhuis then you wouldn't have a job.
I don't think you ever apologized for your "ever kissed a girl" comment? Now you are some sort of bastion of moral integrity that threatens to fire someone you don't employ?
Because it shows a clear pattern. I find it remarkable that he doesn't see a problem with being intimidating. When is it ever ethical to be intimidating?
Not to mention it's hypocritical to be so adamant about someone else's behavior when your own history is so spotty. It shows me that the guy tries to push his own view to the exclusion of all others - if he doesn't agree with you, or he gets mad, he tries to destroy you.
I can't really tell whether you're being sincere, but you are still way out of line. You've been using emotionally charged language from the start, perhaps you should consider your motivations for engaging in this thread.
