I wasn't preparing to ban you! I looked at your history quickly and what I saw was mostly pretty good. I'm just asking you not to post things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33643127 for what ought to be obvious reasons.
Re the word 'troll': I can't blame you if you don't want to look through a bunch of old moderation comments, but the link I provided points to a thwack of explanations of how precisely we use that word. It doesn't have to do with impugning someone's intent (which we have no way of knowing); it has to do with the effects that certain kinds of posts tend to have on the threads (which we have plenty of ways of knowing, as they are externally observable). I'm not accusing you, by implication or otherwise, of anything more than making such a post. That's why I asked you not to do that!
