You can't throw an accusation like this with further substantiation. I come to respect your difficult work, but this comment is a huge disappointment.

That's fair! But I don't know which part you mean—the "doing a ton of political battle" part, or the "breaking the site guidelines in other ways" part? I'm going to assume the latter because the former seems obvious.

If that's what you're asking about, these are the comments I was referring to:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43127613

I wouldn't have made that claim without checking it first. Sometimes I include links like that in mod replies, but sometimes there just isn't time.

The main problem, however, is the part about using HN primarily for political battle. That's why I included https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

More importantly, I'm sorry that my comment left you feeling accused. I feel accused a lot as well and I know it doesn't feel good.
