"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
"Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say."
I'd never refuse to tell you, or anybody, anything you sincerely want to know about how to use HN as intended. You do have a long history of breaking the rules egregiously with many accounts, and it isn't the best use of resources to explain the same things over and over in such cases. If you'd like to change, though, that would be quite different and we'd be happy to help.
