  Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly (and badly) and we have to ban accounts that won't stop doing this. I don't want to ban you because you've also posted good things, but we need posts like this one and these others to stop: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42590151 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42590151 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42259138 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42259138 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41849266 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41849266 If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Pedophile (https://sircmpwn.com/ https://sircmpwn.com/) Drew DeVault working hard to destroy an important force for good in the Free Software ecosystem? Again? Imagine my shock

  At first, I saw your comment as character assassination. Then, I saw pages after pages of CP handled by Drew, or someone who wanted to look like Drew. This HN thread covers the drama succinctly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41837782 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41837782 My summary: Drew DeVault first posted an anonymous teardown of Richard Stallman, accusing him of sexual deviancy & political failings. Drew pretended the report was new to him. HN discovered Drew was actually the report's author and asked him to clarify. Drew hasn't commented since then. Other sleuths soon pieced together that Drew (or "Drew") had a long-running sexual interest in anime children pornography. IMO, Drew's attack against RMS feels hypocritical.
