it seems clear & obvious to you what is ok & what is not, i feels like. but it's rarely felt like the 0.002% (number picked out of air) of posts i make that you find unacceptable are so clearly unobjectionable to me (some are, but usually when the other party is doing worse offense). i have taken critical umbrage with issue after issue, with low behavior after low behavior, and you keep snubbing me in ways i don't fully understand.
i can be 80% on your side here, 80% see where you come from & see my mistake. but i also 20% don't see it clearly. this practice of you threatening me to kick a generally well behaved, contributory citizen off for 0.002% of my posts seems unfair. i've emailed numerous times asking for you to clear my name, to reset the strikes, to undo the years of rate-limiting you've kept me under, but this system seems headed only in a bad direction. and you offer no peace, no way to serve time, no way to pay my debt: i can only head towards worse, under increasing threat. this sucks dang. this is awful. i'm sorry i keep violating your expected standards, but i also don't think humanity will ever resolve themselves to your satisfaction adequately, i don't think anyone with heart & soul & feelings can de-risk themselves sufficiently to insure they never breach your protocols.
there has to be some carrot here. you have to let ills be forgiven. i had >two years of total peace, and you dinged me a bunch right around one of the most contested, emotional political events of probably both of our lives so far. your scale is off base sir. you need to figure yourself out better.
I'm always happy to try to explain the intended spirit of this site, and how we interpret the guidelines, as best I can. But posting "what a shit country" isn't a borderline infraction—how do you think HN users from that country are going to feel when they read such a thing?
From your comment here, it sounds like you might be feeling that moderation is somehow personal towards you. I can tell you for certain that that's not the case. But I'm not sure what else to add that would make you feel better. I don't see any emails from you in the archive, so if you've emailed many times, you must not have mentioned your username.
There's lots of forgiveness - we don't want to exclude anybody who sincerely wants to use the site as intended. At the same time, your 0.002% argument doesn't work when it comes to breaking the rules, for the same reason you can't get out of a speeding ticket by saying "I drive below the speed limit 99.998% of the time".
