Does this apply equally to those promoting trans agendas in the comments? I ask because here we are, in a thread specifically about these kinds of issues, and you are threatening my account with termination for disagreeing. I don’t see any threats made to the people on the other side, despite posting incredibly divisive/controversial views. When you selectively moderate along ideological lines you harm the community. I could understand removing these types of posts from say, a technical update about AWS as it’s off topic. This post however is about social issues and the comments are about social issues. Perhaps you think that’s off topic for HN, so maybe remove the topic entirely?

We don't ban accounts for disagreeing, but for breaking the site guidelines. Your account was the most flamewarrish one in the thread by a large margin. If you think I missed a worse offender, I'd be happy to take a look, but from what I saw your comments were the most aggressive (in both quality and quantity). If that's right, then you're in no position to point fingers at others. If you read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, it isn't hard to see what would be ban-worthy about that. Not banning such accounts would be like not having a fire department.
