The way this thread appears now (OP is flagged / invisible), it seems somebody made a remark about layoffs and the reaction was negative despite layoffs being at least somewhat relevant to quarterly results. But it's really telling to see YC HN moderation speak up in public here (when very clearly the mods can reach the user by private email) and yet YC HN mods were completely 100% OK with blatent sexism in another Google-related thread, where a user doubled down into "[xx theory] in and of itself that suggests the male was better at the job than she was."

I will follow up with you by email regarding this incident within the next day or so.
