A flat "yes". I still stand by my rationale. imgabe didn't "steal" my ideas, I still have them. So do more people, now that the ideas got spread around. imgabe is more than welcome to go to the work of collecting, collating and publishing anything attributed to "bediger4000" on hacker news. The price to society is just too high otherwise. Also, maybe imgabe really did have those ideas, maybe I'm already just copying.
But also, what's the harm? imgabe will be discovered as a fraud, when he/she/it/them can't produce any more instantly viral, utterly quotable 3-sentence analyses of difficult situations. Or when someone tries to look up a phrase in Google.
imgabe is not bediger4000. I have a natural monopoly on the witticisms of bediger4000.
