"Repeatedly"? That was BuzzwordBingo's 7th comment, and their first to even approach ideological commentary.
You've banned them and me under that basis, but accounts like s9w and rayiner are given free rein for years.
- dang 6y agohttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25106534 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25106534 counts. Also, don't forget that there is sometimes additional context beyond what shows in the public record. I took a look at your recent comment history and it seems fine, so we'll try unbanning you. Admittedly I didn't look too far back because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23979330 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23979330 won me over.
- tptacek 6y agoRayiner is one of the best commenters on the site. He routinely takes the time to write paragraphs of background to support his views, which are well-informed --- he's an appellate court litigator with an engineering background --- and interesting enough that they're routinely downvoted. I've never seen him complain about that, or about HN moderation. We need 100 more of him (ideally in a variety of ideological flavors). I have no idea who 's9w is, but I've never seen Rayiner post the three word comment "that's a lie", so I object to the comparison.
- dang 6y agoI agree. I've also noticed that he has adapted his style over the years to fit the HN guidelines better, which is significant effort for a lot of us, let alone a professional litigator.
