Could you please stop crossing into personal attack? Your account has unfortunately been doing this a lot and we ban accounts that do that.

I don't want to ban you, so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

Nothing in my comment was a personal attack, only a reflection of GP's own behaviour. Go ahead and ban the account if calling out these comments as written is unwelcome. But beware the behaviour you welcome by leading it unchallenged.

I don't want to ban you! I hope to persuade you to stop using personally pejorative language in your HN comments, which you've unfortunately been doing a lot of.

If you don't like the phrase "personal attack" we can call it something else, but the point is you can't treat other commenters this way on HN, regardless of how wrong anyone is or you feel they are.

If those comments are the problem rather than the messages to which they're responding, then ban me. But again, beware the discourse you welcome, because bad ideas deserve to be challenged.

I think you're probably overestimating the provocation in other people's comments and underestimating the provocation in your own. This is something nearly everyone does.

Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

I don't actually see which guideline it's breaking. It's a serious offer.
