Sorry for being late to this thread, but you can't break the site guidelines like this on HN, and I've banned the account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It's particularly important for users here not to sling toxic, sinister accusations at each other without evidence. Someone having a different view from you does not count as evidence. This sort of aggression is extremely common on the internet and is one of the things that accounts here most need to avoid. If you read the HN guidelines, you shouldn't have any trouble seeing which one I'm referring to.

Also maybe the genocide in Xinjiang. The constant attacks against India. Daily sending war planes into Taiwan's air defense zone. Using armed fishing vessels to militarily attack the Philippines. Raiding the fishing grounds of poor countries by turning off transponders and sending hundreds of fishing vessels into their national waters at night. Destroying world heritage nature reserves to steal fish. And don't get me…

Quoted post unavailable.

You can't do this on HN, as the site guidelines make extremely clear: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Moreover, you've been breaking the guidelines repeatedly and egregiously. I've therefore banned this account.

In my eyes, the attack on 'effeminate men' is the nail in the coffin for the government of China. They are as dead to me and my actions will reflect it. Down with Emperor Pooh!

Please do not take HN threads into flamewar like this. We ban accounts that do that, for what should be obvious reasons if you review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

You can make your substantive points thoughtfully, so please do that instead.
