That's a slur. You can't post those here, and we ban users who do, so please don't do it again.

Edit: it unfortunately looks like you've been breaking the guidelines quite a bit, and we've already had to ask you multiple times not to. You've also posted good comments, so I don't want to ban you, but would you please review them and use the site as intended? We want thoughtful, curious conversation here.

No one has spoken to me about guideline violations. Not one single time. Why would you lie about something like that? As far as my comment goes, it was a joke. Purely in jest.

Hmm. I don't remember why I said that and just looked again and didn't see it. It's possible that I confused you with another account—in which case, sorry! We try not to make such mistakes but we do. There is so much information to juggle that wires get crossed sometimes.

Here's the one case I found of Dan chastising Cougher: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21663726

Which would make "multiple times" and "not one single time" both wrong. I'd presume neither is a lie, though. More likely, Dan miscounted, and Cougher never saw Dan's request.

Yes, I am great fun at parties -- why do you ask?
