> Don't be snarky. > Eschew flamebait. > don't post shallow dismissals Will you also ban the other person for being snarky and all the other things I quoted? If yes, then I’m fine with a dual ban.

First, I'm not banning anyone, I'm saying that we ban accounts that do this kind of thing repeatedly, so please don't. Second, I don't see that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27013656 was snarky or did those other things. Third, it's distasteful to point the finger at the other person instead of simply taking responsibility for your actions. Why not just use HN as intended? If another commenter is wrong or you…

It’s a blatant shitpost. That person is not interested in a discussion, and I’m not going to waste my time on them.

OK, I guess we read that comment differently. Either way though, you broke the site guidelines badly. Please don't do that.
