    I believe that particular account is someone else pretending to be Terry, which (if true) is an obnoxious thing to do. We unkilled this one comment because it was unobjectionable (and in fact did so before seeing this subthread), but I'm not unbanning the account. Soon users will be able to unkill comments on a case-by-case basis [1], which I hope will render superfluous the tedious genre of shadowban outrage subthread. 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9318675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9318675

      Thanks for the clarification Dan, as well as this feature improvement.
