   Reading his posts, I don't see much that is ban-worthy or even abrasive by internet standards. The Reddit poster seems overly self-critical. I would understand banning a troll, but Hacker News is supposed to be above banning people for hold

   It's worth noting that the Reddit poster is only contributing his personal experiences. There are other posters who've also been banned for innocuous and well-received posts. One is genderfree: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1114604
