We've banned this account. It's a pity, because you've posted good HN comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26978491 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27176286, but vandalizing the site like this after we specifically asked you not to is seriously not ok.

Maybe you could try to do something with the Chinese trolls too? It's becoming a serious problem.

I'm always happy to look at specific links. But from my perspective the serious problem is users' tendency to project such categories as "paid shill", "bot", "troll", and so on, onto other users who simply have different backgrounds than they do and different views than they do. There is years' worth of explanation here:
