Why are you still here? Your profile says you left, and your comment history indicates that you're convinced everyone here is wrong (but you, of course), and/or actively silencing you. I really don't understand that kind of behavior!
I don't really, but lots of comments in same thread. Its probably really hard to moderate at hn scale, they brought on a new guy not too long ago who afaik still mods under dangs alias. Have you sent them an email to ask for an unban?
