As Paul Graham said "If you can find a way to turn dicking around into a profitable activity then by all means do it!" on his speech on him entering the porn industry(will add source later)
Expect the unexpected; He has made a lateral move into an entirely different business: The porn industry. I do not think he can possibly offer more than he already has to CS so he will now focus on contribution that will primarily benefit the degenerates among us. I believe I heard Paul Graham stating that he would do this as well when he was done with YC as after all he is a man of the future. It's all about staying ahead and being flexible about business.
Banning is just a natural concept that carries directly over from real life situations and social interactions. If there is some person in in a group of people that is not generally liked, the natural reaction at some time is to beat the crap out of him; This cannot be done yet on the Internet so we must make do with just excluding him. Unfortunate, but this is just how it is.
If you get banned odds are you had it coming. People these days are just big'ol whiners. I mean back in the day you got killed for having uncomfortable or controversial opinions, now you just get banned. People need to get their act together and realize that they're not in some kind of free for all zone here. That's just the way it is.
Who cares about banning. I applaud all banning. I think everyone including myself should be banned. Banning makes this a better place. You can't disagree if we can't hear you.
You replaced your boss with a customer. No real change there; You're still at the mercy of someone. I'd say you're a dumbass for not realizing this, but I'll decline to as we're supposed to keep a higher standard here on HN.
