He has admitted that it's a sock-puppet account. He stated himself that he has created dozens of accounts and that uses them to post even when his accounts are throttled due to down-voting. How is stating a fact a personal attack?

> How is stating a fact a This is a trope of the serial troll. If you don't want to be banned from HN for trolling, please communicate in better faith. I don't believe 75j is a sock-puppet account. I think it's the primary account that user is currently using. They need to do a better job of following the site guidelines, and I've chided them about that in this thread, but it doesn't mean that what you've done is ok. Your vendetta is not only uncivil to a fellow user you're tweaking the nose of, but is the worst sort of procedural droning-on. No more of this, please, starting now.

  >> How is stating a fact a > This is a trope of the serial troll. Stating admissions of fact is trolling. Gorgeous. Such intellectual honesty. He admitted he uses batches of accounts to circumvent throttling due to down-voting. Please ban my account! I won't be coming back anyway. I have no interest in dealing with moderators that value beliefs ("I don't believe 75j is a sock-puppet account", "I think it's the primary account that user is currently using") over facts. Bye.

  > I don't believe 75j is a sock-puppet account. Thank you for the benefit of the doubt. I am not a sock puppet -- if you look at all those accounts you'll see that absolutely none have any overlap chronologically in terms of posting (well, until last night) or voting. Sorry dang. But, I got deeply offended by being called a liar. I've posted projects on this current account that link to my real identity, so it was important I guess for me to clear my name. I'm also petty like that, but not normally to the extent that it causes problems. I think I've gotten one prior and much milder warning from you over the course of my time on HN. I'll go back to lurking for a while for now.
