WTF happened here, my new comments are all flagged as dead, why??? I swear I have nothing to do with anything you are implying, why should I reply with a different account when I could have used this one? and BTW my comment had positive upvotes! that's not me, why in the hell I am being punished for something I haven't done and had no reason to do???? please reverse your decision, you're making a big mistake here. I have no idea why you assumed that's me, I haven't used my HN account after that comment and looked at it again only today.

Your account appears to be one of a long series of accounts we've previously banned. The holder of these accounts has not only been breaking the site guidelines and getting banned here for years, they've also used multiple accounts in the same threads to appear to be multiple people, which is obviously an abuse in its own right.

  > Your account appears to be one of a long series of accounts we've previously banned for years Is this some kind of joke? Have I upset the wrong person? This is my first account here, I've been reading HN for no more than a year now... > they've also used multiple accounts in the same threads to appear to be multiple people, which is obviously an abuse in its own right What? I repeat myself: you're making a big mistake, I don't know how you jumped at those conclusions, but they are wrong. Why in the hell should I have done that? My parent comment received another upvote after you banned me. Where's the proof of what you say? I had no reason, no motive and there's obviously no gain from doing it. Are you implying that I am stupid? Please reconsider. Or don't, I can live without HN. You know what's frustrating? Being the black man that is banned, without proof, by white people with blue eyes. History repeating...
