I've seen a lot of snide, dickhead comments on HN, but dropping one like that on a memorial thread for someone like Jim Weirich takes the cake.



He's dead. Nothing I can say here will affect him in the slightest.


No, it won't affect him. But his family will be reading these later and it will affect them.


Yeah. Like the family of a programmer reads HN.


As a matter of fact they do. I'm very close with his family, and when I spoke with them yesterday they were looking forward to reading the many threads and posts about him on this and other websites. I can only hope they'll be strong enough to ignore the cruel remarks made by heartless people like you.


I don't know his family, but with Jim as their relative, I would pray they are wise enough to ignore a troll. Jim was a wonderful man and this little person doesn't matter, neither do his opinions.


Keep this up and your account will end up dead.

What the hell is wrong with you? Is dignity obsolete?
