> Your comment history is extremely problematic for Hacker News, because you've been using it to engage in nationalistic flamewar. I don't care what your views are or which nations you have feelings about: doing this is as toxic as it gets.

I feel you've misread my comment(s). The feelings I expressed weren't about any nations, but rather about a particular HN thread. If that's "as toxic as it gets," sorry. I don't think I was personally being very nationalistic, ether. Maybe others were, though. All I wanted was a thread to stay on topic.

> Edit: actually you went so far over the line that we banned the account. No one is allowed to turn HN into nationalistic hell, regardless of which nation they're fighting for.

Sorry. I did not think I was engaging in any personal attacks or "nationalistic flame-war," rather just responding to Jonathanyc, who:

1. Followed me, personally, from another thread because they seemed to believe they were entitled a response to some off-topic "points."

2. Made baseless accusations against me, such as accusing me of being an "agent provocateur," a Russian or Chinese troll, and someone who was engaging in the "political abuse of psychology."

I think Jonathanyc's behavior was far more characteristic of a "personal attack." You're the mod and can ban and unban who you like, but I do hope there's at least some consistency in treatment.

Anyway, I think I got very little warning here, and I feel I might be getting judged for the actions of others. I really don't see any of my comments rising to the level of a "flame," except maybe the exasperated ones that were in response to direct personal attacks against me might barely qualify.
