You're already outed as a racist man. There's nothing to talk about.

We've banned this account for repeatedly breaking the site guidelines. Please don't create accounts to do that with.
Could you please not perpetuate flamewars here? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
I'm not going to ban you because it doesn't look like you've been doing this routinely, but you broke the site guidelines badly in this thread, and it has been a problem in the past (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39598850)
If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

I know I got baited. That's why my comments got shorter and shorter once I was accused of fundamental hatred. I don't start a fight, but I'll finish it. As always, I appreciate your moderation even if I'm not always on the right side of it.
I don't tend to back down when there is someone trying to destroy what this site is. Trolls are the worst.
Hey, once a year isn't so bad.

Many fights are best finished by withdrawing.
(It's difficult, I know, and I struggle with that myself. HN's "collapse thread" feature (the [-] on the comment link) is useful should conscious effort prove frail.)
You, not he, brought up race by opining that a minority can't have authoritarian tenancies. He was calling either you or Trump a "chud", not a Nazi.
Then you attempted calling them a racist in the very same comment despite no one knowing your race before that comment. That is absurd. No one is denying your lived experience.
I challenged your comment regarding a "hoax" about Trump defending white supremacists in Charlottesville, as if your theory on that topic is proof that Trump isn't a defender and amplifier of the far right.
I said you "do not wish to engage with the very obvious daily horrible things he and his administration are saying and doing". Things like what the person above your comment listed:
>Trump just pardoned the violent attackers of Jan6 who tried to overturn by force the result of the election.
It's will continue to be pathetic that you assert people are racist by challenging the logic or content of your opinion, in a conversation where you brought it up. You look like... well, I won't stoop.
Don't worry, I won't edit this comment without making note of it.
Edited at T+60s to clarify two sentences.
