You'd be quite right, but you'd have to ascertain that by looking through my comment history. I don't troll, but I will fight for what believe vehemently, even if that gets me downmodded. I'll then sit and think about what I've said and what others have said. If I'm very wrong, I'll correct it.
Fighting for objectivity on a site is something that I don't think should be looked at negatively. But, to each his own.

I don't see how accusing those disagreeing with you as being fanboys is "fighting for objectivity". Maybe a lot of people just don't think the stance you are taking has merit?
If you'll notice, I have devolved to that only after I was called a GS fanboy for no other reason than arguing a counterpoint.
My stance has no merit, only if you're unwilling to consider how this debacle might have impacted the other side. Yes, they made a mistake. A severe one. Did they do it on purpose? Everyone here seems to think so and I don't think that the peanut gallery would see it that way had there been a fair and objective view of the situation with comments provided from both sides.
The thing I was most upset with is that most HN readers did not stop to consider whether or not GS founders are really as malicious as they were being painted.
