That Hacker News thread was creepy and sad as fuck.
Some quotes:
But this is getting ridiculous and this sleuthing/snooping is uncomfortable.
Maybe it is but it's pretty clear from the other posts in this thread (posted about the time you posted this) that this is the reaction he was expecting. This is him "doing something". If he didn't want people to snoop he wouldn't have given them something to snoop into.
If she didn't want to get raped, then why did she dress like that?

I agree with all the other comments here. You're trying to be that guy who eschews curiosity in an attempt to be mature, but that is not and never has been the type of mentality that leads to success, be it in software or any other field. Curiosity leads to creativity, and creativity leads to success. To swim against the current on this one is hardly admirable.
Why blimey indeed good sir gentleman. Good old chap magnificent bastard Rhodes never would have conquered the negroes with that attitude. If these gentlemen want to strip this man naked and lick his balls, excelsior, I say!

So the most favored Rubyist has returned from hiding with a fun new puzzle. Further down, folks are posting interesting stuff about it.
But the finger wagging – people just can't get enough of telling people what they should do and feel. And apparently that's what they want, for behold this top comment.
I want to see this man's penis and it's perfectly legitimate that I do so. Why should I care about what he thinks?

It's a link sharing website. People are going to find links either independently or from there, and some of those links are going to be posted here.

Let me see if I get this correctly:
1. _why comes out of hiding and posts a programming puzzle
2. a bunch of male programmers on hacker news set out to solve the puzzle, for much enjoyment to all.
3. >>17, being frustrated at her inferior intellect, claims that solving a puzzle someone made is the same as raping someone who wears a miniskirt. Because obviously they might have made and put that puzzle on the internet for themselves and explicit enthusiastic consent is required lest you accidentally rape them.
4. I have been trolled.
Am I getting all major parts of the picture right?

Yeah, your waifu left some page-description files on a machine in his domain, better go stalk him again before he disappears for mysterious reasons.
