Why did you shadow ban me?
Since you've posted mostly good comments since then, we'll unban you. But would you please use the site as intended—for intellectual curiosity and thoughtful conversation—and follow the rules at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html from now on?
Saying Bryan Cantrell has a massive ego isn’t such a massive or unfounded personal attack if I back it up with well-known evidence. He has a known and decorated reputation in the hacker community for having a massive ego. I mean, really?
Having a contradictory or aggressive opinion doesn’t make you a troll if you’re willing to continuously engage in the discussion in good faith. Trolls minimally engage and don’t add. I put effort in my engagement and I try to add to the discussion.
My treatment on hacker news has been unfair and I think your handling has been heavy-handed to the point of censorship. That being said, thank you for de-shadowbanning me. It shows you care.
