We've had many discussions with you before about overdoing your anti-Google passions on this site. It's clearly leading you to break the site guidelines, as in this comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20888525, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20888324. Once again it has become a distraction and is turning this thread into a flamewar.

I've rate-limited your account again and we will ban you again if you keep using HN as a platform like this. I know your views are sincere, but the way you pursue them has obviously left intellectual curiosity behind a long time ago. Worse, inundating HN threads with whatever agenda you're prosecuting has a destructive effect on the discussions. This is not cool, and has happened more than once before (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17216664). This is not a site for platforms, agendas, megaphones, campaigns, or harangues. It's for thoughtful conversation about curious things: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Since the mechanics of the internet will now lead others to accuse me of pro-Google bias, I'll add that we've repeatedly banned accounts for pro-Google agenda-ness just the same way. Our concern is not Google or any other $Bigcorp, it's protecting HN.
