> Daniel Gackle will ban your ass if you point out, for example, that he tolerates and even welcomes extremely bigoted shit.

Citation needed - this claim is very far from my own experience. If you think you'll be banned, then email me with your evidence and I'll look at it.

He usually bans people for using mean words.

If you express some completely heinous ideas in polite, mostly grammatical writing then normally you will not be banned. This is based on my experience of over a decade of various accounts and occasional banning on "Hacker" News.
