This user is a serial troll who has been baiting HN and YC for years. He has over 500 such accounts. Obviously we ban them as we see them. I'm adding this information because if I don't, some readers will assume we banned the account for sinister reasons. That, of course, is the whole point of this made-up story in the first place. It reminds me of the troll who created accounts with female-sounding names so that when we banned them, he could accuse us of sexism. Some people do this kind of thing.
