Why are all, but this comment of you, [dead]?



I think an admin has to approve his comments because he has been shadowbanned.

In the past he made racist and homophobic remarks and got shadowbanned. His mental illness is hard to understand at times. The same thing happened to him on Reddit. He has to use multiple accounts to get around the shadowbans.

I think he is like Brandon Eich who donated to the wrong charity, made good contributions and solid programming work, but holds opinions that are not socially acceptable.


>Brandon Eich

I'd take HolyC over Javascript any day.


The admins said a few months ago that they would add the possibility for high-karma users to unban select post of shadow banned accounts.

It might have landed (either in closed beta or I don't have enough karma to do it). Or maybe it was simply revived by an admin...
