Hacker News Reader

I have no idea. If it was my submission that caused it, I apologize to all YC readers out there.

PG, a feature suggestion: create a "Hide this user from me" button. By default, the list of hidden users could contain all users matching .* reddit.* (but without a space after the first * , that's only there due to YC markup rules).

I don't think you submission has anything to do with them. I suppose it's a simple case of being in the wrong side in the wrong moment.

(In case someone is late to the party, most of the crazy downvoting and weird crap has since been edited out)

Maybe because this has been up here several times that I've seen, and I'm new. It was too much for someone to handle?

They should probably calm down a little.
