"It takes one to know one."
Not seeing the connection here sorry.
Take a look at his homepage - it's all about diggbar/frame spamming etc. He throws a 'Hey HNer, if you agree with me, then subscribe to me' banner up top and adds a thousand tags to his post, hoping people will link to his posts. He then figures if people hate the diggbar on HN, then other people must be feeling the same way and goes to town with pushing the links to his posts all over the web - from techcrunch to mashable to readwriteweb.........take a look at the comments section on those respective blog posts dealing with diggbar. You'll see this guy all over them.
Basically, he's pushing his own agenda/site/blog under the guise of fighting a revolution for the masses. And this is not the first time - http://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=VizionQuest
He hasn't submitted a single link from another site. It wouldn't matter if it's elsewhere, but that's not cool on HN. HN is about sharing information, mostly foreign. Do you see anyone else submitting links to their own site repeatedly?
(Also, as pointed in other comments - it uses "link cloaking", affiliate links, sneaky referrer banner, etc, yet he still complains about others using sneaky tactics. It's just a full of hipocrisy trick to get readers and maybe some green)
