I don&#x27;t mind argumentative.  I look back on the people who changed a bad&#x2F;given situation, and they raised that hand.  The true bad asses walked, or got even.<p>I have a question about Aaron Schwartz.  Would he even be on Hacker News?  Would he  put up with the political correctness.  Would he put up with &quot;arse kissing&quot;?   Would he put up with a moderator who emailed him?<p>I say this in light of an email I received from a moderator, I believe his name was Daniel?  He stated my comments were not adding to the topic, and I should just, essentially go away.<p>1.  I was shocked HN emailed me.    I don&#x27;t remember giving them permission.  I&#x27;m trying to remember if I even signed a TOS, or even gave up an email?  I think I once left my email up to recommend a medication, but took it down the next day.<p>2.  Anyways email me again Hacker News.  It&#x27;s going into a file.  Why on earth would you think it&#x27;s legally permissible to email me.  It&#x27;s considered spam--right?<p>3.  Hell-ban me--fine, but don&#x27;t ever email me.  Pass it by Hacker News lawyers?  I&#x27;m still in shock.  I&#x27;m not sure how to handle this of it escalates.  I said some pretty personal things on this board.  I do not want to be outed.  I just falsely trusted Hacker News.<p>4. Bye!  Oh yea, it&#x27;s turned into a cliche, but the world needs, especially now, more Aaron Schwartz&#x27;s.  We have too many  over zealous individuals&#x2F;enetites in power.   Our every move is recorded.  And I look around, and I&#x27;m seeing less, and less people who question authority. (bumper sticker 90&#x27;s?)
