Your comment upthread already crossed into that. The other commenter shouldn't have broken the site guidelines worse. And you shouldn't have escalated like this.
We're looking for curious, thoughtful conversation on this site. Calling other users "an insufferable prick" is so extremely far from that (regardless of how unfair or provocative someone else was) that I'm going to ban you again. You've also posted quite good comments, so obviously I don't want to ban you, but the container here is fragile and comments like this one and some of your others are just too destructive.
If you decide you want to use HN as intended, starting with "Be kind. Don't be snarky" and including the rest of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, you're welcome to let us know at hn@ycombinator.com and we'll be happy to unban you.
