The original contract very specifically allows consignment. It's published.

So you "absolutely believe" something that was already proven false, and which you would know if you had even _skimmed_ the facts.

By this logic, nothing is theft, and everything is just a civil contract dispute.

There is no need for us to accept your sociopathic assertion that the rich should and will win.

Candidly, I'd argue that it doesn't.

It has a style that allows people to _pretend_ they're having substantive conversation, but it's mostly just people blathering in a distinct style without ever listening.

Probably because I am.

But it doesn't matter. Another thing that's worse about HN is that you can now accuse anybody who posts things you dislike of being a bot.

It's unsurprising that Sean, who posts several times a day, is eager to dismiss my criticism of non-value-addding posting addicts.
