Calling people names is not really ok with the spirit or guidelines of Hacker News: if that's not something you'd say to DHH (who often pops in to comment here) in person, you shouldn't be writing it.
Ok, I agree with that because I haven't had any personal interactions with DHH and only know from what I have read about him or in his comments. So it was inappropriate. But I still feel the point I am making is valid as far as Jason's thoughts juxtaposed against DHH's apparent behavior. The truth is DHH appears to be a prima donna.
It is interesting how DHH thought seems to get a pass on his behavior on HN in a "boys will be boys" kind of way because what he has accomplished.
