Why I Got Banned

Today, I got banned from Quora.com.

The ban came out of the blue; I hadn’t gotten BNBR’d (Be Nice, Be Respectful violation) in months.

I have reason to believe that many people were obsessively mass-reporting and downvoting my answers, and something probably eventually stuck. That’s my only theory, but I have no way to prove it.

I’m going to miss Quora. I’m going to miss all of you guys, but this time, it’s actually the end.

I’ll be writing on Medium now. You can follow me here if you want to continue getting my writing.
