You’re shadowbanned, just FYI Edit: you’re not understanding me. People on HN cannot see your posts unless someone vouches for them. I vouched for 2, but I can now see that was a mistake and you are shadowbanned for a reason, and that is because you are acting like a jerk.

  you're joking right? if I was shadowbanned you wouldn't have replied, as my comment would be hidden... edit your edit does not make sense. what do you mean "vouch"? sounds like you're making stuff up

  >" you are acting like a jerk." you are acting like an intellectual weakling who resorts to ad hominems. constructive criticism = jerk, only in the mind of a a person behaving as a sensitive weakling.

    Just so we can all see what is going on here, I’ve vouched for you one last time. I believe the way shadowbanning works here is that your account is in a state where most people cannot see or reply to your comments. If someone chooses to see [dead] comments, which is a bit on their profile, they can “vouch” for such comments. They then seem to be reply-able and visible to all. I was trying to explain something about your account state to you that you could not see yourself, as I saw some merit in your posts. I was mistaken in doing that and this is the last time I’ll interact with you. A thought: if after 9 hours you are still bothered by something someone you will never, ever meet or know, has said in a comment on the internet, a change of perspective could be helpful. Have a good day, pdubs1

      You don't understand how shadow banning works. "Seem to be"? Yeah, those are the uncertain words of someone claiming knowledge they do not have, but falsely pretend to represent. If you knew for certain, it would not "seem", but rather, you would present the facts with concrete certainty. My account is getting replies and upvoted on various threads. I am sorry that you are so weak in resolve that a person's criticism, opinion, or disagreement irks you. You must be one of those bay area snow flakes.
