Having just looked at the data, it's pretty clear to me that this entire exchange was fake. We ban accounts that do that. Please don't do it again.

It's particularly uncool that you're doing this, given the number of times that you posted at length accusing us (falsely) of nefarious actions in moderating this site.

Btw, I took special care to make sure that your own startup got a nice amount of exposure on HN, despite the fact that the posts were obviously ringvoted. We make a point of not holding grudges and try to make sure that good, interesting content gets seen. But please stop using manipulative promotional tactics either for your own stuff or your friends.
