Hey, the reason I downvoted you here was that you is that you basically just quoted parts from the article and simply added dismissals or small jabs, but little truly constructive, and were kinda rude in the last paragraph. Judging by your other posts you can do better than the easy way out. Do you have something constructively critical instead?

So tell me what's constructive in your comment? Oh, and downvoting is about the least constructive you can go, I won't downvote you :) Tell me honestly, what point I made you don't agree on? Try to make your point please.

    It would definitely help if you tell me which rule I broke that made you ban this throw away account in the first place. Without that I think it's more convenient for me to create a new account instead of sending an email as you suggest.

      Flamewar comments and snark and crossing into personal attack. Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21242827 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21242827. If you'll commit to not doing those things and to following all the guidelines (most importantly this one: Be kind) when posting here, we'll be happy to unban you.

        Thank you for your reply. My comment was indeed a little edgy, I have my reasons for that. But the intent was not a personal attack, although I now see that some of the words used were indeed on that edge. I see in the history of your comments that it is not normal for you to ban an account just right away without any warning. I have no clue why you made this exception for me, I see much worse around on HN. My account was never blocked btw, it's still working. Feel free to try to block it again if you wish so, I won't use it anymore anyways. I truly hoped I was able to shed a light on things many people normally don't see, the intent was positive but apparently I failed to do so rightly. I am human and cannot promise to always be kind. Therefore this better concludes my contribution to HN. Wishing you all the best.
