This sounds like a reason to not like the Internet. You can read comments like this on just about any open forum. And it's perfectly fine to not like that, but that doesn't mean you get to dictate whether other people can talk about what you publish. If one doesn't like one doesn't have to read it.
>They are dictating what can happen on HN about as much as you are dictating what they can post on their twitter.
Hardly. I never said, "Foone mustn't say X on Twitter", or even "they should not say X on Twitter". The latest post actually contains the phrase "NEVER POST ME ON YOUR SITE EVER AGAIN." I'm not even gonna say that they should not make this demand, I just find it pretty funny that they think anyone is going to respect it.
