I hope people do read that, and the context. There's nothing banworthy there, at least from me. Not unless you're a big fan of tptacek running roughshod over people, as you yourself admit he often does.
You also claimed to have "asked me to stop" - which you didn't.
And when I asked you where you said that you didn't reply.
And when I emailed to ask nicely to be unbanned, as you requested, you ignored it.
So... Yeah.
You were breaking the site guidelines repeatedly in that thread.

Sorry — usually I do reply — I must not have seen https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34856255. FWIW in retrospect, here are some places where we asked you to stop (I don't remember why I used the word 'just' though, since these are older):

I can't find any email that references your username. When did you send it?
You said "we just asked you to stop" in reference to a request 12 months previous, yes. There was no other request. I think 3 exceedingly minor incidents over 30 months is pretty bad to ban someone over - and I think it's weird that you'd go so far as to dig that shit up as if it's relevant here, or improves your case.
Sure look, we all make mistakes. Since you apparently though that you'd asked me to stop recently, and in fact you hadn't, feel free to unban me.
I sent the email that day. No worries about not finding it - you're only human. Again, feel free to stop rate limiting my comments, and limiting them to those with showdead on.
I'll continue to have a spine whatever you decide, and I'll call out bullies, politely, with this account or through a VPN - your call.
