"Ableist"? Go off back to your ridiculous PC college fantasy world and leave the solving of real problems to people who want to actually make things better.

Breaking the site guidelines like this is not ok here, regardless of whether another user broke them. We've had to warn you about this in the past. Continuing to post like this will get you banned, so please don't. Edit: it also looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle. That's not ok, because it destroys what this site is supposed to be for (curiosity and thoughtful conversation). We ban such accounts, so please stop. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  Your edit -- is this a cut and paste admonition that you send to anyone? I think if you look at my previous contributions, they are far from "ideological" and in fact contribute a lot of information. In a previous moderation, you took the position that pointing out the flaws in someone's argument was a personal attack. That is a concerning use of moderation discretion. On this above post, I concede that I was not being respectful to the person who was being so snarky and angry to begin with.

    I certainly post this sort of moderation comment to anyone who I see breaking the rules, but I try not to copy and paste them. Inevitably they are pretty repetitive though. It always feels like the other person started it and did worse, which is why you need to follow the site guidelines regardless of what the other person does. I don't mean 'you' personally, of course. We all do. I didn't read your account history closely, so it's possible it wasn't primarily ideological. But to stay on the right site of the guidelines, make sure that you're using this site for intellectual curiosity, not arguing with political enemies. That's important, and when people do that as intended, their comments take on a different quality that is more conducive to curious, thoughtful conversation. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
