For the nth time, would you please stop posting overwrought rants to HN? Few people would disagree with you that this is an important topic and I imagine most of us mostly agree with your views. But that's obviously not as important as preserving this place for substantive discussion, and what you're doing breaks it badly.

We need you to stop this habit of going beyond the pale if you want to keep commenting here. We like you and don't want to ban you but if you keep ignoring our warnings and requests about breaking the site guidelines, what choice are we going to have? So please fix this.

In case it helps, here is how I have tried to fix this in my own case: (1) notice when my system is agitated; (2) don't post until I am less agitated; (3) go over my comment after it's up and edit out any leftovers.
