In time for him to edit, I sent asciilifeform (the author of 'phuctor') mail on how I thought he could improve his comments here, just some suggestions to clean up the language so it's more civil for HN, rather than ad-hominem, antagonistic, etc. (As you can see below, I suggested only three deletions, and highlighted seven paragraphs as being very positive.)

He published it on his blog called it "hate mail" and named it tard.png (for retard).

My brief suggestions to him -http://www.loper-os.org/pub/tard.png

His publication of it - http://www.loper-os.org/

I was extremely surprised to see the source of this at the top of HN, as I am familiar with this web site and its operator from an an extremely toxic online forum, which I won't mention or elaborate on. I am careful not to share negative remarks, but I will firmly state that I believe that this:

Consequently, the originally intended, civilised process of emailing the victim, keeping things quiet for a while to give them time to update and so on is not practicable.

Strikes me as disingenuous coming from this source.
