Yep. Want to share a video in your group chat that includes a non-Apple user? Everybody gets an MMS that has a postage stamped-size, low framerate video.
We've banned this account for repeatedly and egregiously breaking the site guidelines. Creating accounts to abuse HN this badly will get your main account banned as well, so no more of this, please.
Since it's unfortunately necessary to add these disclaimers: No, I'm not siding with your enemies. We'd ban any account that posted this way. Being right is no excuse to behave like this, and no matter how wrong or bad your enemies are, it doesn't give you the right to destroy the commons. It's not in your own interest to do that either, but that's another story.
Please stop posting flamewar comment and ideological battle comments to HN. It's not what this site is for, and you've been doing it repeatedly. We ban such accounts, so please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and fix this.
