The man behind FAKEGRIMLOCK

Can someone explain the downvoting of FAKEGRIMLOCK's comments? I find them insightful, substantive, and hilarious, but is some HN norm being stepped on?

I really appreciated the candidness on getting out of the midwest. I love home. Born and raised near Kansas City, Missouri and went to school at Missouri and Iowa.<p>But the resources and mindset aren't there yet to build a consumer-web startup. Zaarly is the best example and yet a large chunk of its team is on the coasts. Hard to tell the truth when you're a "nobody" as FAKEGRIMLOCK mentioned. But at the mythical FAKEGRIMLOCK is become easier to say what's on your mind.

FAKEGRIMLOCK seems very relevant to this site as he created a brand out of nothing and I find most of his short comments insightful. So the interview is a nice read on his tactics even if it's a bit shallow. I just hope we don't have tons of clones of his persona. It works only once or twice.

It's really a shame that FG's comments were downvoted here... Can anyone shed some light on what happened?

@fakegrimlock is as genuine as can be. His advice is golden and right on. Just accept him and his persona as they are.

he' s a brand in himself. Expect to get Fake Grimlock action figures in stores in 5-10 years
