Hi dang, thanks for all the work you do around here moderating. The article georgemonck linked goes into a lot of details of the case others here ignored, and yet he was banned while peisistratos is using racial slurs and mockingly refusing to discuss a single thing georgemonck's article gets wrong. It seems like peisistratos is not interested in engaging in meaningful conversation. Thanks.

georgemonck isn't banned. What made you think he was? In terms of HN moderation, please remember two things: (1) one user's bad behavior does not justify another's breaking the guidelines (a.k.a. two wrongs don't make a right), and (2) HN moderators don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted, so consistent moderation isn't possible–we just don't have the resources. If you see a bad comment go unmoderated, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it.
