Who's “Arrington”?

Question

While looking at very old HN submissions, I found that a user named "Arrington" has commented on every single one with the words "This is why we can't have nice things." All of his comments are [dead]. What happened?

There's a [dead] thread that's titled "can we ban user arrington?":https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=454679I'd guess it's someone who created a script to spam hn, does it matter who it is?
