Is there something hacker-related to this story? I read the first few paragraphs, but didn’t see anything, and couldn’t force myself to go any deeper into this lawyer drama mind candy.

You may be running into the notice-dislike bias (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), which unfortunately tends to gives people the distorted sense that the community and/or mods are stacked against them.
By the way, if you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). You can help by flagging it or emailing us at hn@ycombinator.com.
