Please keep political flamewars off HN. This whole subthread is wretched and the sort of thing we're trying to avoid here. You guys have the rest of the internet if that's what you want.

Edit: it turns out that your account has been using HN primarily for political battle. That's not allowed, and I've banned the account. We do that regardless of what politics you're battling for, because it destroys this place for its intended purpose. Please don't create accounts to do that with.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email [email protected] and give us reason to believe that you'll use HN as intended in the future.
