Having to assume a non-zero possibility that anyone you interact with on HN is secretly Zuckerberg makes the whole experience just that extra little bit spicy, doesn't it

[hobs → ben0x539]

There's no reason to admire or have anything but distaste for him, so no.

Is spicy supposed to be a good thing? I don't feel like I understood the GP.

[dTal → HWR_14]

I think the connotations of "spicy" include danger, thrill seeking, and titillation. Whether that's "good" depends on your personal appetite for such things.

[derivagral → HWR_14]

Yes, if it isn't referring to food then spicy usually means excitement in a positive way.

[jraph → derivagral]

you could be excited by the (idea | risk) of Zuckerberg reading you writing bad things about Zuckerberg or Facebook, or saying these things to him without knowing. Like a game. This is how I understood the post and it matches your interpretation of spicy.

[HWR_14 → jraph]

I'm not sure why I would feel one way or another about Zuckerberg reading anything I say. (Winklevos twins probably feel differently.)

[ffhhj → derivagral]

He does only human things, like drinking water from a glass.
