I don't have any ideas to offer but I did want to say thank you. Based on the phrasing I can tell this takes a toll (eg: "this destroys HN and we must ban this account") on both you and HN.

This is one of the last places on the internet I feel that I can go to be free and have genuine conversations with people, even with people I wildly disagree with. Whatever hell you're going through as a result, I regret, but know it's worth it to the masses that come here.

I whole-heartedly agree. I not sure of another community that has this level of well reasoned discourse anywhere else. Hacker News is a special place.

It’s true, I also come here for shelter. I know the loud and unruly will be dealt with promptly.
