This is an off-topic response to my on-topic reply, and you've mischaracterised my post history to boot. I can't see anything in the guidelines about issuing threats but IMHO you shouldn't be doing that either. Otherwise keep up the good work!
- dang 4y agoYou're right that moderation comments are off topic, as well as tedious and repetitive. (They're even more tedious to write than they are to read, if that helps at all.) And yes, they sometimes break the site guidelines in other ways too. I try to keep them neutral but I don't always get that right, and am happy to take suggestions for improvement. Nevertheless, your comments have been breaking the site guidelines badly—it's not a close call! The reason I post replies like I did here is to give people that information so they have a chance to change; that seems better than just banning an account outright. I'm sorry if it came across as a threat. My intention is to persuade you to use HN in the intended spirit—I don't want to ban you.
