I wouldn't know. I was hellbanned here. Not allowed in the conversation. Very civil, that hellbanning process is. (All joking aside, it is very, very frustrating to see articles like this and hear stereotypes like "techies with poor social skills" only to have an otherwise great web-site like Hacker News trying to increase civility using practices like hellbanning. Why not just let individuals permanently hide my articles and comments? Why not a 1000 other options to work toward these goals. Instead, the internet has gifted us re-branded censorship and winner takes all marketplaces. It wasn't supposed to be like this.)
