Given that officialchicken has a sense of entitlement so misplaced that even the minimal effort to work around the paywall is more than he feels he &quot;should&quot; provide, it&#x27;s safe to say the guy is just an asshole and idiot. An asshole, because he expects something for nothing, and an idiot for thinking that attitude has any place in a sustainable ecosystem for solid news.<p>Harsh language, I know, but if assholes and idiots are the ones who determine what HN readers can and cannot post, it can only end badly for HN as a whole. After all, why would any intelligent person make time for a news board dominated by people who have nothing but contempt for the work of journalism?
