Graham allows the dumbest people on the Internet to come onto this site to berate startups he all but begged people to create, but hellbanned a guy who pooped out a better version of HN in his spare time, for nothing. For fuck's sake.

Not sure what the down vote was for, it was a genuine question. The parents comment IS ambiguous and I would be interested in a clarification.
