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:

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!
