HN Transparency Debates

I would prefer a vendor responds publicly rather than request a private message. It's possible that one side was angry, and writing a blog post that makes it on HN will surely get a ton of negative attention. If that's the case, they should have the right to clear anything they'd like. I didn't read it as blame, but explanation.

Nobody is assuming anything. You have presented it as a rhetorical question—work on your presentation if that wasn’t the intention.

Thanks. Didn't knew the backstory -- just read the related issues/commit messages were there's no mention of any of this.Had I known, I wouldn't say that. Perhaps an open statement from you regarding the issue would help (this HN thread will be lost to the depths of the intertubes after a few days, and it doesn't give more details of what transpired).

Someone claiming to be from Disqus has said they are investigating the issue, as it's not their intent.

I'm not sure of the data, I was linked this by a friend, I'm not really sure how a proprietary saas company ends up as the good guy, while we're trying to ensure the next big search platform remains open, end up as thugs.It seems the main mods problem with what I did is plugging our github url, which made it obvious I diverted attention from needl's launch, mistake I made.

I got this:Thanks for your feedback!Think what you may, but if there is ever a time to use the phrase that you shouldn’t believe everything you read on the internet its now. Its being handled correctly, and not displayed honestly.We will be releasing a statement today or tomorrow regarding the issue. We haven’t said anything due to confidentiality agreements, that other parties violated but anyways. I respect your opinion and decision.Let me know what I can help with gear-wise in the

Hursh, can you please respond to the above commenter? As an early adopter, I find it fairly troubling to see a company that touts transparency hide the blog post and only publicly "own up to it" within the confines of a single HN thread.
