You broke the site guidelines so badly and so repeatedly in this thread that I've banned the account. If it were just a question of a single thread, I'd put it down to going on tilt (which happens sometimes), but you've also been breaking the guidelines egregiously in other places too.

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. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
