Hi, would you mind reviewing the site guidelines? I'm afraid your comments have already been breaking them quite a bit, and we ban accounts that do that.

The idea here is to post thoughtful and substantive comments, not aggressive ones, and to avoid the flamewar style, which degrades discussion quality and provokes worse from others.

Looking at the guidelines, many of the posts I replied to are breaking these rules, yet haven't been flagged.
