Please follow the site guidelines. I just removed the rate limit from your account on the assumption of good faith, and don't want to revert that, but if you keep posting like this we'll end up having to.

Hey remember a month ago when we had a huge thread with dozens or maybe even hundreds of comments about how interesting and thoughtful were the works of the unabomber? I wonder what all those commenters are up to I wonder what you might find if you follow some of them around for a few days.

I wonder if they have any overlap with the folder of screenshots I have of users here advocating eugenics, colonialism, or infanticide. I truly can't guess either way.

Pointing the finger at other people doesn't alter whether you're following the rules or not. If you don't to get rate limited or banned, please follow the rules regardless of how bad other comments are or you feel they are.

If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. You can help by flagging it or emailing us at [email protected].
