Since we asked you to stop hounding another user in this manner and you've continued to do it repeatedly, I've banned the account. This is not what Hacker News is for, and you've done it almost 50 times (!), almost 30 of which have been after we first asked you to stop. That is extreme, and totally unacceptable.

(You've also been breaking the site guidelines in plenty of other places - e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46521516, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46395646. This is not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.)

Many people - simonw is the most visible of them, but there are countless others - have given up trying to convinced folks who are determined to not be convinced, and are simply enjoying their increased productivity. This is not a competition or an argument.
