A warning would have been welcome, because from my point of view I was interacting mainly with other single-purpose, agenda-driven accounts that flamed me incessantly. Early on in this there was even a very creepy attempt to dox me or something similar and there was no obvious reaction to that from the site.
Anyway, sorry for causing you to ban the account.
Edit: I created this account not to break HN rules with, but to contribute my (limited) knowledge of dairy science and cheesemaking technology which I thought would be interesting to HN users, since it's not very common. I got embroiled in flame wars because threads about food invite ideologically driven posts, and because my username acts as a red flag to some users. Just this last couple of weeks I had three or four try to use it as an argument against me, to imply I have some kind of ulterior motive (profit?) for the things I post.
I believe I was being targeted and dogpiled on and that I was not getting into any constructive conversations with anyone, because all the conversations I cared to join (about food or about the environment) were always very one-sided and ideologically driven.
Oh. I also created this account because personal characteristics force me to compartmentalise my online presence.
It totally went to shit, I admit. Sorry again.
