We've banned your accounts in this thread. Please don't create accounts to break HN's guidelines with; it eventually gets your main account banned as well.

Also, please don't create accounts for every few comments you post. We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines too.

HN is a community. Users needn't use their real name, but do need some identity for others to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

You want HN to ge a community, start obeying the rules yourself.

HN is not a community, it’s a cargo cult where only certain thoughts are allowed and you ban people who think differently, no matter how well they present their argument or how polite they are.

Further, you engage in ad hominem and dishonest attacks, make calling and violation of every other rule in your rule book you capriciously enforce against everyone else.

Because of this, you have no standing to expect anyone to ever respect your rules.

This is why this site is considered a joke to the rest of the world and the tech community.

It’s the epitome of Bay Area smelling-ones-own-farts, and you’re oblivious.
