I've banned this account because of the Hitlerian (really?!) URL in the profile. You can't propagate that stuff on HN. We'd ban an account for doing that in comments, and a profile is no different.

It's a pity, because you've also posted good comments and I think the proportion of good comments has been getting better over time, which is great, but that doesn't make things like the above ok. Also, you have a history of using this site for ideological battle and we don't want that here—it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

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.

Jesus Christ, I didn't notice the profile, but I have to say the video intro to Hitler with a MIDI soundtrack of "Unchained Melody" in the background had me in stitches spitting wine halfway across the room. I'm glad this is the last site I still engage with people on; at least here there's a good bartender. I'm ready to stop having conversations with people I can't look in the face. In my most hopeful moments I imagine constructive conversation on HN as a reversion to BBSing, maybe even a stepping stone to people finally abandoning computers as a way of talking to each other completely, as we all just get sick of it.
