> because the first thing you did was look at my profile. Clearly you were looking to investigate me in some fashion, who knows why Technically I read the thread and then looked at your profile. Because people such as yourself always have some self-aggrandizing, pseudo-intellectual nonsense in your bio that -- to everyone else -- clearly displays your ego, irrationality, and how wholly unprepared you are to seriously discuss matters in a forthright manner without trying to weasel your way around the topic. It's almost absurdly comical at how consistently you find such silliness. >I'm sure it'll do me no good if you're more than a peon. I'm quoting this just to draw attention to it.

> Because people such as yourself always have some self-aggrandizing, pseudo-intellectual nonsense in your bio Well, I added it a few days ago because somebody found a way to contact me, and it made them feel less isolated. They told me that I should have my email address in my HN bio with some words of encouragement (it's meant to be playful, if you didn't detect), so I added it. If you get the impression that it's there to play into my ego, well, that's less of a problem than the crushing loneliness of even one person. > that -- to everyone else -- clearly displays your ego, irrationality, and how wholly unprepared you are to seriously discuss matters in a forthright manner without trying to weasel your way around the topic. What have I not been forthright about? I am here, a fully identifiable human being. I was making conversation in the wee hours of the morning, and you two took your egg accounts and started assassinating my character. I did not resort to the same tactics, and I tried to answer each jab and remark as clearly as I could manage. I made sure not to make it personal. > I'm quoting this just to draw attention to it. Perhaps we can all sound cryptic sometimes. I'm not sure what you're getting at here. I'm saying that if you have it in for me, and (for example) you have direct access to a blacklist of some sort (usually reserved for management, and not peons), it'll do me no good that you're upset and willing to look for my bio.

  lol what. Mine or his? Because if it's mine that seems pretty baseless. Also your other message is actually kind of scary, where you banned another account: >We've banned this account for repeatedly violating the HN guidelines and using HN for political/ideological flamewar, which is not a legit use of this site. Would you please not create accounts to do this with? Are other admins aware of your actions and "justifications" (that anyone can plainly see through)?
