Looks like hn_id of monsterix has been banned. Didn't expect this from site admins because what he said above was within quality of discussions normally seen here, and his questions are genuine.

It's kind of sad that admins are unable to take criticism or face real questions and are overreacting to it.

There was a log-in code change on HN today that made a lot of people think they were site-banned,

but in fact they were not. The comments of the user you mention do not appear dead to me (I have showdead turned on).

I am pretty much back in. Yes, there was some problem last night and some of the lines I edited/wrote got lost when I hit submit. Couldn't login for a long time thereafter, and unfortunately misunderstood the situation.

What makes you think he's banned? Doesn't look that way to me.

We work off the same place and that's what he said to me. Will cross check again.

I'm unable to log in right now via Firefox but Chrome works fine. Could be related.

As freyr said, logins are messed up right now.
