I'm really curious how you're distinguishing pro-pedophilia op-eds from pro-same-sex-marriage op-eds. Is it just that one is bad and one is good? How do you know which is which?
Curious, why should a private company be forced to post op-eds from viewpoints that their editorial board has decided are against their editorial guidelines?

It looks like your account has been using HN primarily for ideological battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of which ideology they're battling for or against, because it's not what this site is for. Moreover it destroys what it is for, so we have little choice if we want HN to survive for its intended purpose.
