I didn't hellban anybody. But I have an idea who did. And, you know what? If you're gonna ask me, "who's more likely acting in good faith, the hellbanners on HN or the hellbanned?" it's not even a little challenging for me to answer that. The people managing HN are not mean-spirited.

In asking that I'd be turning this into a discussion about deontology and I doubt anyone's interests are served thus.
However, I do take your point. It just happens that I also have a considerable problem with the ethics of reciprocal justice.
I don't really have a problem with that right up until the point where you wittingly waste someone's time because they previously wasted yours.
