You serious? Did you read his email that was allegedly so offensive the dean drafted an apology letter for him? I rarely use this term, but – clown world. Absolute clown world. You are one of the clowns, congrats.

You've been repeatedly posting flamewar comments and aggressive attacks. We ban accounts that do that. I actually just banned you for this, but then looked closer at comment history and decided to undo that and warn you instead. You can't attack other users regardless of how wrong they are or you feel they are. It's also not ok to use HN for ideological and political flamewar. If you would please stop doing these things and use HN as intended from now on, we'd appreciate it.

  Well, I appreciate the warning I suppose. I created this pseudonym to post (what I consider valid but) semi-controversial comments that some find politically untenable, so perhaps I overcommitted to the mission. Although I think you’ll find I rarely start a political discussion in a non-political thread – I’m keenly aware of the risk of polluting the board with that which is why I try to join existing politics threads rather than start them. FWIW, when my most recently flagged comment has 16 upvotes, perhaps there is something to it. On the other hand, this one you’re replying to was aggressive but I think you’ll find it to be an outlier, and that I have sparse history of personal (let alone “aggressive”) attacks against anyone who isn’t a public figure or trying to be. Anyway, keep up the good work, I’ll avoid the personal attacks. But I’m not gonna change the perspective I bring to these discussions, so if that’s the issue you can just ban me now.
