This comment breaks the site guidelines and is a big step in exactly the opposite direction of what we want here. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the intended spirit closer to heart? Note that they include:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

"Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead."

Your comment upthread already crossed into that. The other commenter shouldn't have broken the site guidelines worse. And you shouldn't have escalated like this.

We're looking for curious, thoughtful conversation on this site. Calling other users "an insufferable prick" is so extremely far from that (regardless of how unfair or provocative someone else was) that I'm going to ban you again. You've also posted quite good comments, so obviously I don't want to ban you, but the container here is fragile and comments like this one and some of your others are just too destructive.

If you decide you want to use HN as intended, starting with "Be kind. Don't be snarky" and including the rest of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, you're welcome to let us know at [email protected] and we'll be happy to unban you.
