Your account was rate limited before you posted that, and the submission dropped in rank because it set off the flamewar detector. Moderators didn't touch it.
You have a long history of—among other things—breaking the HN guidelines, ignoring our requests and warnings to stop, getting banned, creating new accounts, and posting false statements about HN moderation. I mention that because readers have a right to hear true statements about this and not just the false ones. I don't mind being criticized for mistakes we actually make—it's good to be, so we can correct them—but spreading outright lies destroys this community by undermining its confidence in the site. That's not ok.
Since you obviously don't want to use HN as intended, I've banned several of your accounts.
