You've been using HN primarily for nationalistic battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what they're battling for or against. HN is for people, stories, and conversations that are animated by curiosity. Political battle is the opposite. It is destructive of the subtler and lighter things HN exists for. What happens to a garden when tanks roll in? A garden cannot be a battlefield. If you would please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the spirit of the site to heart, we'd be grateful. I know that the topic you care about is important and the feelings are strong and genuine, but those are actually reasons why we have to moderate more, not less—or else it and things like it will consume the site completely.
