Edit: I suppose I'd better add that this is not a defense of $THAT_GUY - just an attempted defense of HN comment quality.

Edit 2: Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait generally? It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

For example, we ban accounts that post things like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48878096 and your account history unfortunately has quite a bit of this. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
