So please especially stop doing that. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
Those 2 comments are from a month ago, on the same day, and my point was he was spamming those threads with basically the same comment, and he links often to his site and his posts are all about his software. Both of my replies you link have positive counts (with sure had plenty of downvotes as he had positive upvotes), and even now after your link probably added more downvotes to mine. And other commenters in those threads agree with me.
You can choose to look the other way but 3 comments out of 21, where 2 were kind of the same one on the same day, and 27 days ago... But you say "repeatedly crosses into harassment" as if I'm a troll chasing him around.
I was caring about the quality of this site with my 18 year old account... Unbelievable.
But as you bless him, I give up. It's your site. Quite a bummer after I defended you many times over the years, though. I remember in the beginning your interventions were not generally welcome.
Edit:
His comment is now 12th in this thread and there are comments saying his pelican SVG test is pointless. At least there's some sanity with other users. Or are they harassing him, too?
You can't post like this to HN, regardless of how you feel about someone else's posts.
Doing it repeatedly crosses into harassment, and you've done it more than 3 times now - e.g.

Sadly his other comment on Hy3 thread is still the top comment. And of course it also has a link to his site. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48848950
