If you lived in middle age, you would be burning witches, in Nazi Germany killing Jews, but in present time all you can do is calling people morons.
NB: @dang, please remove both my and parent comment. I wrote this one just so that parent can “feel” how it looks to be on the opposite side of hate speech and internet insults.
Would you please stop posting inflammatory, unsubstantive comments? Nitpicking plus Nazis equals particularly pointless.
Edit: you've been posting a lot of flamewar comments lately (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18620146), and we've already asked you not to. If you keep doing it, we're going to ban your account.
You are a Nazi. Plain and simple. I know it's not nice to hear such a thing, but it's true. Someone should have mentioned this to you long ago. There could have been much pain and hurt and suffering avoided, had you only known that your actions are destroying people's lives. I assume many posters are too intimidated and are afraid of being banned, to speak truth to your power. That's not me. I simply don't care, and will speak the truth to your face regardless.
Here it goes:
Are you the one who shadow banned my last account?
This is my second HN account. Honestly. The first one was a few months ago (account name 'shiftless'), when in my extraordinary 36-year-old graybeard naivete, I thought it might be a good idea to join this forum, to participate in discussions with fellow computer enthusiasts.
There are many intelligent and wise people here, and many great discussions. Being that I have been living as a hermit for the better part of a decade, it would be nice to have for the first time in a long while people to talk and discuss with, to learn from and to teach.
I invite you to read through the history of my comments, on this profile and the last, and honestly tell me with a straight face that I am a worthless person, that my comments are useless, that I need to be lectured, talked down to, etc like you're doing to this guy, or that I deserve to be shadow banned--my comments silently consigned to oblivion with no notification--simply for speaking my mind.
Yes, my opinions are strongly held, but they are never ignorantly so; everything I know and believe is thoroughly researched and I can argue my position on any subject. Rarely have I been given a chance to do so on this forum. Actually, the posters here are quick to downvote, to flag, to run screaming to the Nazi mods to please hurt this mean evil person who posted a comment I didn't like. You created that culture. The fish rots from the head down.
The harm you are doing to the community with your Nazi Germany style "moderation" is incalculable. The word "moderate" used to mean "moderation", but there is nothing moderate about your actions. There's no telling how many great people you've driven away from this site through this bullshit. It needs to stop, immediately.
Are you planning to shadowban this account as well? If that's the case then I will never, ever post here or read this site again.
You're saying you're OK with hanging out in a virtual Nazi bar just because the Nazis can't speak Japanese and you don't personally see the swastikas.
Let's see if we can reign in your ignorance a bit. This man owns the service 100% and when you use it, you're putting money directly in his pocket (or helping to fill in the debt hole).
Can you see how the above is a bad thing now?
