The rules I have previously posted contain the answer to your first question.

Insinuations of astroturfing or shillage are the commonest toxic internet trope around, and we don't allow them here without evidence. People feeling differently about C++ doesn't count as evidence of anything other than that programmers feel differently and identify with different things.

I've posted hundreds of times about this, so I don't think it's true that HN has a lack of accountability and transparency about it. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

Could you please review and respect the rules here? You've broken quite a few of them in this thread.
