Being happy because someone is leaving a FLOSS project is considered a "personal attack" on HN?


"Being happy" does not adequately describe the comment.


Really? OP just wished him well and to never see him again (obviously in the context of Bitcoin). English is not my first language, so I may be missing something here.

Although, I remember similar comments when Ballmer left Microsoft and no one was banned nor censored IIRC.


I do think you're missing something. The comment took the form of wishing someone well, but no one who primarily wished to express that would express it that way.
