Perhaps it was only one stupid comment. He saw the cat with the bills and remembered the cat's photo site. It's not a very relevant comment and it breaks the "no cat's photos" rule. But it's not extremely offensive or plain spam or tinfoil hat talk, and the older comments from the user look good. So IMHO I think it deserves only a few downvotes (maybe 0 or -1?), banning the user for this is too much.

How does one make a ban happen?
edit: Did I miss something, all the other comments are good? =/
No, I think he's just commenting on the amusing picture of eight $1 bills on top of a cat in the original blog post :)

I don't see anything in the rules ( http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ) about cats.
Soemone should write him, he is on linked in and twitter: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/nick-desaulniers/34/203/755 https://twitter.com/LostOracle
I have no account on either of that and can't find a mail address.
Maybe he got his account hacked or something...
Account hacked perhaps?
