You've been breaking the site guidelines egregiously and repeatedly in your comments here. Posts like this and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25725677 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25720636 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25715970 are totally unacceptable here, and bannable offenses.

We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what they're fighting for. We don't have a choice, because it destroys what this site is supposed to exist for.

I'm not going to ban you right now because it doesn't look like you've been doing this for a super long time. But please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use this site in the intended spirit: thoughtful, curious conversation across differences. If you can't do that, that's understandable of course, but then please don't post until you can.

HN's rules have been designed to try to preserve this place as somehow interesting, not the scorched earth that internet forums usually descend to. The rules don't stop applying because someone else is wrong or you feel they are, and it's not ok to break them because you're right or you feel you are. Actually those are the cases where they apply the most.



You're right.

Honestly I just need to take a break from the web for a while.

I've been feeling pretty enraged lately, especially when dealing with people who seem dedicated to ignoring reality.

I appreciate the warning.
