Standing up for what's right

Accounts that use HN primarily for political or ideological battle are an abuse of this site, as I believe you know. We ban them. We've banned this one. Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with. That eventually gets your main account banned as well.

Throwaway accounts to stoke ideological flamewars are not ok here. There's no possibility of civil, substantive discussion of any of it, so please keep it off HN.

I don't know what was so bad about that comment enough to ban them right away.

>Accounts that use HN primarily for political or ideological battle are an abuse of this site...

How did you decide this was the case here, just curious.

I'm not a mod and I'm not speaking for the mods.

I think it was a pattern of behaviour, with some previous warnings.
