Indeed a gem. Or do you want a nuclear power plant in your neighbourhood managed by people who happen to be the pet-minority-du-jour on Twitter?

- dang 3y agoHellish flamewar is not ok on this site, regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are. Your comments stand out in this flamewar as being distinctly the most hellish. Not only that, you've broken the site guidelines so egregiously elsewhere (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36744128 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36744128) that I think we have to ban this account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Edit: I changed my mind and unbanned you because your recent comments before these two threads don't look this egregious, although you've still been breaking the site guidelines and that's not ok. Please fix this going forward.
- uoaei 3y agoI appreciate your eternal level-headedness and poise. I need checks as much as anyone. I won't disparage HN's community; I have become sour to the image of tech-oriented rationalists vs the reality and am projecting expectations onto Toms, Dicks, and Nancys. My weight to bear of course.

- dang 3y agoIf you continue to post unsubstantive comments and/or take HN threads further into flamewar, we are going to have to ban you. Your account has been doing a ton of this, and that's seriously not ok. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
