This is something that has been widely known, but forbidden to talk about, for months.

What changed to make it not a banning offense to mention?

I know heavy moderation of any slightly politicised issue is rampant on the mainstream sites, but is hn also moderated liberally?

It looks like you've been using HN primarily for ideological battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what they're battling for or against, because it destroys what HN is supposed to be for. We've already had to ask you to stop this once. If you keep it up, we're going to end up banning your account, so please stop.
