Just so you know, your account is shadowbanned - all of your comments are automatically marked as dead.

I have vouched for this comment, because it seems fine, but you do have somewhat of a history of unsubstantive comments based on my skimming.

If you're willing to put that aside, apologize, and promise to follow the rules in the future, the HN mods are typically willing to unban your account if you reach out to them via email.

Really? Interesting. Honestly, that's probably my cue to go. This place was becoming a bit of an echo chamber anyway.
