So you really think I have one account that’s been posting since 2013 and another account that’s been posting since 2015 and that they have both been posting prolifically just to have someone agree with me?

But as far as the issue. Did you reach out to Microsoft? Did you download the Outlook app for iOS? Or would you rather just complain?

View on HN

Would you please not perpetuate tedious tit-for-tat flamewars on HN? At some point it needs to be let go.

Wow, you seem just like another friendly and helpful Apple Fan. Of course I love to complain! Thanks for your unique input and no I don't seriously think your are his second account, I wrote that to emphasise my argument that followed this and which you left out. EOD...

Note to myself: never mention Apple again on hn

Edit: wow ninja-downvote within 1 minute! Have you been reloading your comment page for the last hour?

Oh I see...it's the other guy again...no surprise there.

If you continue to break HN's guidelines, we will ban you again. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow the rules when posting here.

Are you kidding me? I've been shit upon by this apple circle jerk and you get at me? What rules did I break while they didn't?

Edit: I really hope it wasn't you downvoting me instead of an answer...this is getting quite ridiculous.

You were uncivil and you insinuated that other users were astroturfing. That's two guidelines right there. Also, we've had to warn you before.

(Mods can't downvote replies to themselves, same as other users.)

> You were uncivil

I started being uncivil after they started being uncivil. Why is it me that is to blame here? I mean, they seem to be so agitated that they are downvoting me 3 days later!

> you insinuated that other users were astroturfing

Where did I do this?

I might have missed it where people started being uncivil to you first. We don't see all the comments. But it also doesn't make breaking the rules ok—even if others break them, you (i.e. we all) still have to follow them. It always feels like the other person started it, and did worse.

Re astroturfing I was referring to "Are you his second account".

> I might have missed it where people started being uncivil to you first. We don't see all the comments.

I...what? You can't click "parent" and get a context? Or come here with a different account/firefox container? What sense does that make? This is ridiculous. I mean, it's right there...

I never said the rules are bad. There is nothing wrong with the rules. There is just something wrong if they are being enforced selectively.

> Re astroturfing I was referring to "Are you his second account".

You might read up what astroturfing is. Because this is not how it works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing Besides the fact that I even explained that I said that to emphasize my argument that followed it.

Would you please read the whole thing before you judge? I mean, seriously this doesn't make any sense this way.
