I don't think this addresses the argument I've made. Can you read it again and reply to the strongest possible interpretation you make of it (per the site guidelines)?

Not suspicious at all how you come to HN on a new account talking about how people should take your posting in good faith, with the "strongest possible interpretation", with references to the rules.

My strongest possible interpretation is that you are not posting in good faith whatsoever, and should be ignored.

We've asked you repeatedly to stop posting uncivilly and breaking the site guidelines. You've now reached the point where we ban you if you continue. Actually I did just ban you, but since you've also posted good comments, I decided to give you another chance.

Please, no more comments like this one or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19128783. Post respectfully of other users, regardless of how wrong you feel they are.

I've been a long time HN participant. I'm coming back from a lurker status after having lost my credentials a long time ago. shrug.

Can you explain how you consider this suspicious (to the point you needed to create a throwaway account to say that)?

I'm confused why HN is being so aggressive and unwelcoming right now...

This kind of meta-conversation isn't really what I'm on HN for.

The comments on just about every story anything to do with China get overheated lately, I wouldn't take it personally.
