Accusing him of being a sock-puppet and I'm going to assume the "armor" bit is either an allusion to "White Knighting" (Which is completely inaccurate here) or "Social Justice Warrior" which is an easy way for you to dismiss his views.

Bravo.

In another comment he claims he's been in HN for eight years but this account is like 16 days old.

It is a sock-puppet account.

That's a personal attack as well, and you've posted many other comments that break the HN guidelines. We ban users who do that, so please clean up your act.

He has admitted that it's a sock-puppet account.

He stated himself that he has created dozens of accounts and that uses them to post even when his accounts are throttled due to down-voting.

How is stating a fact a personal attack?

This is a trope of the serial troll. If you don't want to be banned from HN for trolling, please communicate in better faith.

I don't believe 75j is a sock-puppet account. I think it's the primary account that user is currently using. They need to do a better job of following the site guidelines, and I've chided them about that in this thread, but it doesn't mean that what you've done is ok. Your vendetta is not only uncivil to a fellow user you're tweaking the nose of, but is the worst sort of procedural droning-on. No more of this, please, starting now.

Thank you for the benefit of the doubt. I am not a sock puppet -- if you look at all those accounts you'll see that absolutely none have any overlap chronologically in terms of posting (well, until last night) or voting.

Sorry dang. But, I got deeply offended by being called a liar. I've posted projects on this current account that link to my real identity, so it was important I guess for me to clear my name. I'm also petty like that, but not normally to the extent that it causes problems. I think I've gotten one prior and much milder warning from you over the course of my time on HN. I'll go back to lurking for a while for now.
