My (near decade long) comment history speaks for itself. I do not primarily use HN for a culture war, but I do engage it. Despite how I try to avoid the culture war, it beat a path to my door, and threatens my livelihood. Something something, "and when they came for me, there was no one left to speak".

I maintain that I'm being banned -- not for engaging in the already present ideological battle on HN, but merely for engaging on the wrong side of it.
