We've banned this account for repeatedly breaking the site guidelines. Please stop creating accounts to do that with. It's vandalism if not arson, and will get your main account banned as well.

Me? What? What’s arson? Why am I flagged? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Why are you lumping me with this troll?
By "arson" I mean setting threads on fire, which is an apt metaphor - the same metaphor, of course, as in the word "flamewar". Comments like these are not acceptable here:

Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart? Please remember that the rules don't stop applying when someone else behaves badly. Although I haven't asked the other user about it, I'm certain they would see you as "this troll" and themselves as the one who ought not to be "lumped in". It always feels like the other person started it and did worse. That's obviously a recipe for a downward spiral. The only solution is to do better, even when provoked.
