It’s not a quote when it’s a counteroffer in a negotiation.

> How are you not totally creepy and demented yourself, since you're the one who's losing your shit when somebody truthfully points out that you're a sock puppet
I make that fact clear in my messages, I don’t make any effort to hide my multiple accounts.
I already told jacquesm that I only use multiple accounts to get around ratelimits on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31240871
It’s weird and creepy that he continues to follow me around after that.
> why are you so desperately trying to conceal your numerous false identities?
I’m obviously not, put down the pipe.
> It was also spectacularly unwise for you to go on the record with your threats to commit extortion and fraud and libel and identity theft. But you be you. You can't unring that bell, and I'm sure Dan will be happy to provide the IP addresses of all of your sock puppet accounts to the authorities, if it comes to that.
Nobody cares lmao. Back in the real world you won’t be able to find a single police officer interested in these kinds of things, much less many police officers in several countries which it would take for anyone to even reach me.

This is absolutely illegal and you can get your passport back within a day or two by just calling MOHRE.
A decade ago this stuff may have been more common, but the government has cracked down heavily to the point that it doesn’t exist any more than it does in Europe.

Restaurants, flight connections, quality of services, friendly tax regime. Restaurants obviously being the most important metric.
Sure, it’ll lose out to London, Paris, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, …
But it won’t lose out to cities like Manchester or Liverpool.

> I haven't ever been in a place that felt so fake and liveless. The only thing you can do is go to the mall.
That’s not true at all. Mall is probably the last place anyone should go to in Dubai.
Instead of going to the Mall, you could drive a little and go view the wonderful collection at Louvre Abu Dhabi.
You could also go eat excellent sushi at the little (and cheap) 3 Fils at the local Fishing harbor in Jumeirah. There’s also a decent seafood restaurant next door run by local fishermen.
On Palm there’s the excellent Ibn AlBahr run by a group of Lebanese(?) fishermen.
Deira too is full of nice authentic places.
But sure, if you’re a mall enthusiast then a shitty mall is all you will find. If you seek out nice authentic places, they’re easy to find.

It’s not a place where you live all year round.

It’s nice for a week or two, but gets boring pretty fast. You can only eat at L’Atelier so many times.
But it’s surely better than almost every other city in the world.

> Places that allow the rich to prevent themselves from being taxed by their home countries do not deserve existence.
Sounds like you are describing almost every single country on earth!
I think what you really object to is countries offering attractive tax regimes.

Sure, for pages that you don’t hope anyone to actually find.

> * .eu can be used as an alternative to .com for businesses and organizations in the EU.
This is bad advice. Nobody should use .eu
How am I using multiple accounts abusively? I’ve been using them to make substantive comments when prevented from doing so by ratelimits, which is something actively encouraged by your webdesign.
I write a good comment, get hit by the ratelimit, am I just supposed to throw it away? That’s shitty. The right and proper thing to do would be to inform me of the ratelimit before I waste my time writing a comment I can’t post.
I don’t think you can criticize the comment histories of my other accounts like https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=doldols , I’ve been using them to make substantive contributions, not to abuse people.
