So, are you also going to do anything about the top comment being fake news? It literally says something completely that is not true. Minus the "sneering", I think the validity of my comment remains.

Please don’t try to deflect from your own disrespectful conduct with this kind of “are you going to...?” goading. We don’t moderate on the basis of such charged qualitative judgments as “fake news”. We uphold the guidelines. If someone is wrong, point out how they are wrong, in the conversational style the guidelines clearly call for. Doing it in this sneering and hostile way only weakens your point and trashes this place.

    You were asked to keep to the guidelines just a few weeks ago, particularly relating to making swipes at the community, and you committed to doing so: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47243319 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47243319. We wouldn't be having this interaction if you had kept to that commitment, nor if you had respectfully heeded the reminder I posted. This place only continues to exist because enough other people conduct themselves respectfully.

      Sure, I admit I wasn't aware the alternate caps was even a thing in the guideline. If you go into my comment history further, I've done it way more times, but never been flagged before (which is why I wasn't aware it was against the guidelines). Also, I didn't insult the community in my comment (please show me where?). I just pointed out that OP was conveniently choosing to ignore certain key facts in the original article just to craft a narrative - I'm sure you know this, but many people here own Apple stock and sometimes they have a conflict of interest, which really irritates me when they don't disclose and do such shady stuff. But, let's leave that aside - isn't what you're doing now exactly considered as the very deflection you accused me of, earlier (deflection)? ie. I pointed out something you were wrong about - you just went into pointing out something I did in the past that was wrong instead of addressing my core point - that you didn't have to insult me to enforce the guidelines. You could have done so, without. Again, as you have found out, I've interacted with dang, I don't know what happened to them, but I never was insulted by them before - despite consecutive flags (and I never repeated those mistakes).
