We've banned this account for repeatedly posting flamebait and unsubstantive comments. That's not allowed here.

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.

(Edit: actually I took a second look and your account history doesn't seem to be as I described it above—perhaps I got my wires crossed—so I've unbanned it for now. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't post like that though! It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.)

This is pretty off brand for HN, really. Even if you don't agree, that doesn't make it "flamebait" , the queen also was fine with sending Alan Turing to jail for being gay, I can find many other things along those lines. I don't understand the need to protect the image in this forum of a person who has not done anything really for regular people. YC being an american company makes it even worst, we here in the US don't own any kind of respect or courtesy to any royal, is literally part of the Oath of Allegiance. If you personally loved the queen, maybe don't read the comments? Otherwise be consistent and also ban people commenting on how bad russians are.

Prince Andrew is a pedophile, it's not unsubstantiated, that's a monstrous thing to allege.
