We've banned this account for attacking fellow community members (not just here, in other recent comments too), and ignoring repeated appeals from us to observe the guidelines.
It gets old linking to the HN comment guidelines whenever one user goes at another user in a direct and personal way. Loaded accusations are exactly that, not questions being begged, nor logical fallacy or mere differences of opinion.
