You used the n word in a racist manner to play games on HN. I simply pointed out that this sort of behavior on HN fits a pattern. I'll leave it to others to figure out a "civil name" for it. I certainly didn't say anything that I wouldn't say in person, or wouldn't mind being reprinted a decades from now.
Well he didn't really use it in a racist manner, as that's all his post contains; unless you're implying that any use of word is inherently racist. I guess if he put it in quotes it wouldn't be? (Use vs cite)
Instead of reporting your bad behavior, I tried to explain it. You can't fix a problem without understanding it. You are the way you are for a reason, and you're probably not that different from other people who fit your profile. Shouldn't we try to understand hate, for instance? Making people social outcasts or deleting accounts for online bullying is not a great solution.
