As I said, I don’t know the history of this account but this specific comment that got it banned doesn’t look bad to me.
BTW, I would personally ban all politics from HN.
- dang 6y agoYou do have to know something of the history of the account in order to really respond to our banning it. We wouldn't have banned it just for that one post, even though it obviously breaks the site guidelines by being flamebait and name-calling ('thoughtcrimes') and ideological battle. Banning all politics from HN is not an option, for reasons I've explained many times. See the links here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25723581 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25723581.
