I mentioned this to Claude and this was the response:

Ha! The irony is not lost on anyone.

    Edit: unfortunately your account has done basically nothing except break the site guidelines. I've therefore banned it. If you've read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, it should be obvious that this is not what HN is for, and destroys what it is for.

    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.

    p.s. I suppose I'd better add that no, this is not because of your views, it's because we're trying to preserve this place for thoughtful conversation. Accounts that pour snark and cynicism over everything have the effect that pouring salt on a slug has.

    Yes, I'm comparing HN to a slug, and we'd rather be a happy one than a salted one.
