I'm a repeat offender. My immediate solution is to not login, so less tempted to engage. If I feel the need to continue participating, I use a real-name account, which usually keeps me from trolling.
Back when I was moderator, we had offline mail readers. I miss two features. Time shifting and twit filters.
I really want to read the threads a week later, after the commentariat has a chance to weigh in. That's also how I consume my "news". Keeps things "cool" (vs "hot" a la Marshall McLuhan).
And I really miss having twit filters, which allowed you to fully block mail from marked accounts. I scanned the various 3rd party HN clients, but nothing like this jumped out. Not that I have enough to do, but maybe I can morph an existing client.

Again, thank you for your efforts.
