Nothing in her profile text allows you to make the inference that her grudge is based on jealousy of his karma and popularity. Even if you think that's likely, it's a pretty lousy thing to post publicly.

He's got a lot of karma (#2 according to her blog post). She makes a big deal of the date when she reached 10k. I think it's a safe assumption that's an important metric to her.

No doubt; it still doesn't follow that she holds a grudge based on it. Lots of people have plenty of karma; patio11 isn't even the #1 on HN.

It's fine that you think "that's probably it". Posting that as if you knew it for sure is unjustified and rude.

I didn't mean to imply that I know it, I thought it was clear that it was just a hypothesis on my part (assumption is probably a better word). I apologize.
