It often functions this way. Quite a few times with CloudFlare. It's not the first place to go, but it has historically been a helpful last-resort option.

I am well aware of that. It doesn't change the fact that this isn't a support forum, and others being successful should not encourage the behaviour.

Easier to say when one’s business isn’t at risk, I suspect.

The old couple who lived across the street from me for the entire 20 years I've been here both died within a few weeks of each other only a few weeks ago. I'm really sad because I liked them. I know this is relevant to you because to say otherwise would be easy to say when one's own friends didn't just die.

If posting about loved ones dying to HN had a long history of successfully resurrecting people, this would indeed be a great analogy.

The fact that doing something wrong sometimes gets you what you want doesn't make it right. That gain came at everyone else's expense.

Everyone that ever left a grocery cart in the middle of the parking lot instead of putting it away "successfully" got something they wanted.
