Why are you lying?

Why did you flag my comment?

> ignoring our request to stop

What request are you talking about?

Users flagged your comment, correctly. "Why are you lying" is obviously against the site rules and you posted it numerous times.

I'm referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25695491.

The user is quite clearly lying, and reposting the same lie multiple times:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28803751

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28809332

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28809352

And that single comment you linked to is from 9 months ago.

"Lying" implies intent to deceive. You can't know intent from internet comments, so that's a personal attack, and personal attacks break the site guidelines. When another comment is wrong, it's enough to respectfully supply correct information.

Yes, we warned you 9 months ago, which means we warned you. If you break the site guidelines after we've already warned you, you're a lot more likely to get banned—and you broke them repeatedly and egregiously. This is not a borderline call!
