Serious question, why would you use a throwaway account for a comment like this?

Really any account with less than 100k karma is practically a throwaway account.

whoa, even dang has only 25k. I'm not longer going to listen to him when he threatens bans.

Maybe HN stores karma as a 32-bit integer and dang had a buffer overflow and is simply wrapping back around to 25k now.
