We've banned this account. All it has done is aggressively post pro-Google comments and diss Google competitors.

Single-purpose accounts are not allowed here, especially not when pushing an agenda, and most of all not when pushing corporate propaganda. Of all the things that make HN users angry, that's at the top. And I agree with them.

Most of the time we tell HN users that they're not allowed to accuse each other of astroturfing. When we do find a clear-cut case of abuse that's been getting away with it for this long, I get pretty steamed.

You've also frequently broken the site guidelines by being uncivil, so much so that we've warned you at least half a dozen times. That's more than enough reason to ban you in its own right.
