Is this for real?! Which guidelines are you talking about that are broken? You mean to say that asking for arguments/specifics is something that goes against HN guidelines?!

Now it looks like it becomes an issue if you ask somebody to argue his/her statement. And if you praise somebody for providing a specific piece of info, at the expense of being down-voted, even that becomes controversial. What school of thought are you guys applying to this?

And how-come you show up to moderate this one week after everything has settled? This is an ideological witch hunt on your side.

And where can I verify your mod status? Who is to say that you are not simply pretending to be a mod and acting to stifle rational dialogue?!

I have a suggestion: to make things truly arbitrary, please ban me, and then I will be sure that you are a moderator.

For such a sad joke, feel free to ban this account. I am not interested in playing in your box.
