How's work going at the Internet Research Agency :)

How is the weather in Englin today ? Also if you don't want to stick out like a sore thumb on here, think of making comments that actually use technical jargon sometimes. Pretty funny that you mention the IRA since I was threatened with open brain surgical torture by one of them a few months back. Like you, he assumed I was part of an opposite three letter agency. Do you guys never stop and consider that maybe, just maybe, the inevitable fate of conspiracy theorists is to become conspirators ? It always boils down to dialectics. Always.

  Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse. Also, please don't post unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments, and please don't use HN primarily for political/ideological/nationalistic battle. Your account has already been doing a lot of those things and that's the sort of account we end up having to ban. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    >a lot There isn't a single comment by this dude that isn't related to politics. Not one. He's probably on a payroll. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40568392 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40568392 Meanwhile I provided a link to an obscure proof assistant. What is HN doing against shills, i.e. people that are tactful enough to steer opinion towards certain goals and let you think they "also posted good things" ? Is preventing confrontations on this problem a good tradeoff with the current state of the guidelines considering that political topics are a lot more present on HN than 10 years ago ? Or could fostering a culture of shill-spotting beneficial ? Logging off. Password status: not saved, as always.

You broke the site guidelines badly with this comment and unfortunately have been posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments in other places, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40908934 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40908934 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40793361 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40793361 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40793252 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40793252 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40770909 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40770909 This is the sort of thing we have to ban accounts for in the end, and I don't want to ban you, because you've also posted good things—so it would be good if you'd review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, take the intended spirit of the site to heart, and stick to the rules in the future. We'd appreciate it.
