It's because you're a fucking idiot.



You have made five comments on Hacker News. Three of them are extremely rude and vulgar (the language doesn't bother me, but the sentiment behind it does). The norm here is civil, intelligent conversation, which is the opposite of "It's because you're a fucking idiot." If you keep going this way, you're going to get hellbanned. Just a friendly heads-up.


Why warn him? Let them bring the hellbanhammer down.


Some people are capable of more, but for whatever reason have fallen into a rut of uselessness. For those people, a warning can help and they might even go on to become productive commenters. I've even made good friends out of people I nearly wrote off in the beginning. If he/she's not one of those people, the warning will do nothing, the hellban will come soon enough and my comment will have done no harm. I like to see people have a chance to better themselves, even if they probably won't take it.


You are a better man/woman than I, then.
