Yes, various alternative and experimental treatments were discussed with a strong emphasis that anyone considering them should first discuss them with their medical team. And people who posted with definitive language about cures were either downvoted into oblivion and chastised in the comments or permabanned if it was clear from their post history that they were commenting with an agenda. The person I replied to on here would have had their ass handed to them in the comments of the subreddit and then probably would have been banned since they’re clearly only spouting their talking points and not interested in creating a discussion around the topic.

- dang 2y agoIf you keep starting and/or perpetuating flamewars on HN, we will ban you account. We've warned you about this repeatedly already, and what you did in the current thread was practically arson. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40479922 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40479922 (May 2024) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34786933 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34786933 (Feb 2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34256190 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34256190 (Jan 2023)

- jononomo 2y agoSheesh, as chance would have it the most recent Revero podcast has more information about alleviating Crohn's and IBS through the carnivore diet.
- jononomo 2y agoOk, I'm not sure whether you're reading this or not, but check out this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=40627548 https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=40627548 Is that an interaction that is worthy of a ban? I feel that what often happens is that I make a non-flame-war comment, and then someone comes in and uses passive but extremely aggressive language against me, and then I am forced to either retreat or to hold my own. I look like the bad guy, but the other guy is actually the unreasonable one. You are a world-class moderator so I have no problem with your judgment!
- dang 2y agoYes, it's worthy of a ban, because you kept perpetuating a religious flamewar after I'd just asked you to stop doing that. The other user was also at fault, and I've asked them not to do that in the future. The reason I've banned you while merely warning the other user is not that I'm taking their side. Rather, it's that we'd warned you multiple times, including recently. That is not the case with the other account. Also, your account has a longstanding pattern of doing this over and over again. HN is not the place for this sort of generic flamewar, whether about diet, religion, or anything.
