“We”? Who are “we”?

Gosh, you have no idea how far I am from the left in France. And how far I am from the far-right too. It’s not even on the same axis… but to chose between Le Pen (Putin puppet, as is Trump) or Melenchon (Putin puppet as well), I know who I chose because of the team that goes with it, and the balance it gives to the institutions and which one will allow for a return to democracy and which one will trigger a bloody civil war.

Visibly, your refusal to consider a different point of view, your incapacity to argue for your own leads you down a single possible path and Trump gave you the perfect excuses and means for it.

Your perception of history is totally skewed from your lens.

> People who at one point in the past related to the Democrat Party

The US has never had a political party named “The Democrat Party”.

We've banned this account for repeatedly breaking the site guidelines and ignoring our requests to stop. Not cool.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Just to clarify, when you said "this account" did you mean me or the person I was conversing with?

EDIT: Seeing as I can post a comment I'm going to guess you meant the latter, but I would appreciate clarification if you don't mind.

EDIT the second: It seems I am shadowbanned, so I'll leave an email I guess. It saddens me that an American entity (Hacker News) doesn't support American values, though.

I meant you. You broke the site guidelines badly and repeatedly, and we'd asked you more than once to stop doing this.

I did post a moderation reply to the person you were interacting with (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43042302), but they didn't break the guidelines nearly as badly as you did.

In no uncertain terms, the only guideline I've violated as far as I'm aware is the one stipulating no political battles. As far as that, I defer to your judgment with one contention: Everyone else who were and are also engaging in that behaviour should be similarly reprimanded.

As I've written in my email, I've noticed a significant uptick in political threads and subthreads over the past month for fairly obvious reasons. If you are that adamant about the guideline, and that is your right, I hope you police all such (sub)threads much more vigorously in the future.

In closing, I'm just sad at the true colors of this community. I take supporting racism personally as a Japanese-American, and all the other positions like supporting fraud, wanton waste, and selective enforcement of laws (aka social justice) are downright absurd. We will inevitably have differences in our beliefs, but I expected better from a community of hackers and entrepreneurs/investors who would presumably support liberal (libre) values and fiscal responsibility.

"you are clearly not worth the oxygen you consume" is obviously against the site guidelines. Ditto for "Please get help, you are indoctrinated and incapable of holding a useful conversation", "You are projecting your own behavior upon me (and others). Get some help, my dude", and so on.

Anyone who has read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html should understand why we ban accounts that keep posting like this. If we didn't, we might as well have no guidelines.
