Do you write software for a living, or at least write scripts, deal with complexity, ambiguity, and humans? I think both the moderator and I are trying to explain to you that you can't talk to people on HN like this because because it's not what the forum is for. That's all.

If all comments that technically violated one or more guidelines, objectively or subjectively, there wouldn't be much content left here. Luckily, we have heuristics and culture (containing norms such as do not acknowledge the existence of heuristics, at certain times) to smooth over such complexities, making everything appear logical.

It is for some, but not all. Also, for whom is it an illusion? ;)

Everybody's brains act according to the laws of physics. The feeling that you have a choice is an illusion.

Should I believe you or my lying eyes! :)

That doesn't doesn't have much to do with your comments many of which violate the guidelines egregiously and repeatedly.

This is an interesting claim in the context of the content of the comment it is replying to. ;)
