Edit: between the parent comment and these, you were outright harassing another user:

This is bannable behavior on HN. I'm not going to ban you because not only have you posted good comments to HN recently, one of them was an Aleksander Blok translation. That's first rate. But please don't do anything like the above in the future.
It's important for HN that people be able to discuss their work, or their employers, without being harangued. Should they disclose it? Sure, in principle and when appropriate, but that doesn't mean every comment has to include it like boilerplate. The range of appropriateness has some elasticity. Neither gregable nor joshuamorton was out of line (anyone can just check their profiles). Your attacks on them were out of line though.
Using people's employment information to attack them just disincentivizes them to participate in threads that they probably know a lot about, since most of us are experts in what we work on. That's a really bad tradeoff for HN, so users need to pull their punches.
