I got a bit carried away there. Am I banned?

Yes, but not just because of that. I banned your account because it looks like you've been creating a bunch of accounts and using them to break the site guidelines. In such cases we ban the new accounts as we run into them.

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. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
