Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

That seems like pretty fucking cut and dry harassment. Guy didn't make any libellous claims.

I hope they can get a damn good lawyer with some help from EFF or something. Would love to see Funko get torn a new asshole over this, especially since he claims it wasn't even copyright infringing material but a fucking fan forum for an official funko branded game that got the site improperly flagged.
