How am I using multiple accounts abusively? I’ve been using them to make substantive comments when prevented from doing so by ratelimits, which is something actively encouraged by your webdesign.

I write a good comment, get hit by the ratelimit, am I just supposed to throw it away? That’s shitty. The right and proper thing to do would be to inform me of the ratelimit before I waste my time writing a comment I can’t post.

I don’t think you can criticize the comment histories of my other accounts like https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=doldols , I’ve been using them to make substantive contributions, not to abuse people.

I make that fact clear in my messages, I don’t make any effort to hide my multiple accounts.

I already told jacquesm that I only use multiple accounts to get around ratelimits on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31240871

It’s weird and creepy that he continues to follow me around after that.

> why are you so desperately trying to conceal your numerous false identities?

I’m obviously not, put down the pipe.

> It was also spectacularly unwise for you to go on the record with your threats to commit extortion and fraud and libel and identity theft. But you be you. You can't unring that bell, and I'm sure Dan will be happy to provide the IP addresses of all of your sock puppet accounts to the authorities, if it comes to that.

Nobody cares lmao. Back in the real world you won’t be able to find a single police officer interested in these kinds of things, much less many police officers in several countries which it would take for anyone to even reach me.

A decade ago this stuff may have been more common, but the government has cracked down heavily to the point that it doesn’t exist any more than it does in Europe.

Sure, it’ll lose out to London, Paris, Barcelona, New York, Los Angeles, …

But it won’t lose out to cities like Manchester or Liverpool.

That’s not true at all. Mall is probably the last place anyone should go to in Dubai.

Instead of going to the Mall, you could drive a little and go view the wonderful collection at Louvre Abu Dhabi.

You could also go eat excellent sushi at the little (and cheap) 3 Fils at the local Fishing harbor in Jumeirah. There’s also a decent seafood restaurant next door run by local fishermen.

On Palm there’s the excellent Ibn AlBahr run by a group of Lebanese(?) fishermen.

Deira too is full of nice authentic places.

But sure, if you’re a mall enthusiast then a shitty mall is all you will find. If you seek out nice authentic places, they’re easy to find.

But it’s surely better than almost every other city in the world.

Sounds like you are describing almost every single country on earth!

I think what you really object to is countries offering attractive tax regimes.

This is bad advice. Nobody should use .eu

OP wrote the tweet and forgot, then got pissed when this was pointed out to him. I think we’ve all seen this with elderly relatives.

OP wrote this tweet and forgot. When read in context, it’s perfectly in line with pro-Ukraine views previously expressed on his account.

It’s really surprising that his account would get banned for it in the first place.

> avoid the potential Streisand effect when the truth gets discovered

That’s never going to happen. Twitter would never publicly call him out even if the story was entirely fabricated, they just wouldn’t respond.

Right now you’re making an extraordinary claim with zero evidence. Pointing this out isn’t “out of line”.

E: As it turns out, not only was I not out of line, I was also entirely correct. You wrote this tweet Jacques, you just forgot. It’s not unusual at your age.

It’s time for you to apologize.

A counteroffer is not a quote.

First isn’t an offer, nor is it a negotiation.

I think the fact that you have to engage in such mental gymnastics to try and make your point is pretty telling.

Generally in situations like this, unless otherwise specified, courts would fall back to a “reasonable” period of time or until Jump is notified that the offer is no longer valid.
