This is incredibly uncharitable. Everyone has one or more communities they dislike - especially when they send a certain type of traffic your way - for jwz, HN is on his "no thanks" list. As for why, I can think of a few reasons why an old school hacker like jwz may dislike "Hacker News" and its values/ethos.
Check out his public complaint that "signal leaks his phone number" and moxie's patient, thorough explanations and what followed, including the re-editing the original post.
jwz is totally allowed to be as bigger ass as he likes with my blessing. So can rms. To eachother even. It's happened! Both are difficult to get on with. So what? So that's a factor in why you get a hairy testicle in an eggcup linking to jwz.org from this site. Hardly a big deal really and you're entitled to disagree and think the testicle and ranting is lovely. Not sure why you're taking offence about my pointing it out but you're entitled to for sure.
