I am not going to apologize for challenging the status quo and having opinions of my own just because you threaten to ban me from an obscure tech news machine... people like me are not going to go away no matter how deep your bury your head into the sand. We will be here waiting for you whenever you come up for air.

Nobody's trying to get you to go away! You just can't do religious flamewars on HN. That's not some novel use of authority, that's internet forum 101 all the way back to Usenet. It's particularly important for this site, where the mandate is intellectual curiosity. Battling enemies doesn't fit with that. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
