Your link shows I didn’t bring the incident up previously. Your link shows the user thristian did. I added a link to Miller’s critique of Solaris performance and Miller’s wikipedia page.
I do think it’s fitting (rather than ironic) people would bring your first incident of bullying behaviour up in light of your second, but I’ve replied about that further down the thread.
Also the original commenter added another comment saying that they actually enjoyed bcantrill's "have you even kissed a girl" remark:
"On the other hand, even as a Linux advocate I found bcantrill's post freakin' hilarious. There are very few times when the universe gives you a perfect opportunity for a snappy retort, so I can't blame him for seizing the moment. While it's probably not bcantrill's favourite memory, I think that moment deserves to be remembered and respected for its comedic value, if nothing else."
To me it sounds like he did a quick google search "bcantrill nailer site:ycombinator.com" (note: it's the top result), didn't pay too much attention to the context and guessed that you all just had a grudge and were being mean. Except he's missed that it was more nuanced and respectful than that.
