When you post "You are a fascist control freak", there's no need to explain how that's breaking the rules—it should be obvious to anyone who has read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You could hardly have broken them more blatantly—for example, the one against name-calling.
If you say you meant something else by it, I believe you, but that sort of intent unfortunately doesn't communicate itself—you have to encode it explicitly in your comment or else it will land with most readers as a garden-variety attack. I realize it sucks to have to do that—it's a constraint on expression—but there are constraints we have to live with in order to have a large, open internet forum that doesn't destroy itself.
If you'd just calibrate your comments to be more substantive and thoughtful, things should be fine.
