Given that he founded one of the most famous anonymous web forums on the planet, I'm liable to be interested in his reasons. People being jerks seems to be a really common thing on the internet, so I'm quite curious of his counterpoint.

I take his link less as a blog-advertisement, and more of a "I'm more likely to update that than edit my comment on HN". I'd love it if, after he writes his blog post, he were to summarize it in an edit to his HN comment.
