Hey - 3 of your last 4 comments have been unsubstantive and/or flamebait and/or broke the HN guidelines. Can you please not do this? We're trying for something else here.

I understand it can be annoying to see posts you disagree with and dislike. Many people jump from that to a general image of the community as hostile to their viewpoint* - but the truth is that there's a stream of things for everyone to dislike here. That follows from the community being so large and diverse. (There's a longer explanation about this at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308098 if anyone cares.)

Fortunately most of your posts with this account have been fine, though I ran across some other recent ones that broke the site guidelines and were not ok:

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

* I've been trying to persuade users about this for years, though I'm not sure it's worked much: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
