Attacking other users like that will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong they are and how right you are, or you feel they are, or you feel you are. No more of this on HN, please.

Edit: your comment history is unfortunately replete with this kind of abuse. We already asked you to stop [1], and you've clearly been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle, which is another thing we ban accounts for [2], regardless of which ideology they're battling for. So I've banned this account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

Destroying the commons like this is profoundly not ok. It does no good and helps no one. Having this place descend into the hell realms is not in your interest either.

Yes, shouting at elected officials totally compares to forcing your way into the Capitol, making congresspeople flee for their lives, looting their offices, and killing a cop.

Nobody killed a cop. A cop killed a protester.

Get out of your bubble. The cop's name was Brian D. Sicknick, and he died from injuries sustained fighting the rioters.

According to Capitol police, the rioters "actively attacked United States Capitol Police Officers and other uniformed law enforcement officers with metal pipes, discharged chemical irritants, and took up other weapons against our officers."
