- thaumaturgy 12y agoHe was unbanned a long time ago; he only recently decided to come back to HN, which I wasn't aware of. Fortunate for us. edit: Looks like he might've only shown up because someone lifted data from his bedbug site. If we're lucky, he'll stick around, but I'd be (pleasantly) surprised.
- Kiro 12y agoWhy was he banned?
- tptacek 12y agoMaciej was banned for like 5 minutes, literally. But he was justifiably irritated by the experience, and left by choice.
- idlewords 12y agoI was hellbanned for a few days, then tptacek interceded and got me unbanned. Paul Graham was kind of squirrely about it, so I thought it was a good time to leave. I have met the new HN management and have no beef with the site. I only avoid it now because it's a big potential time sink.
