I don't know if you'll see this (does HN have a reply-notification feature?) but I really appreciated your response and (I presume, since I was at -1 when the thread settled down) the upvote that sent my comment back to "0 points" This comment thread was really discouraging and it meant a lot to me that you were willing to just talk about a small point we have different perspectives on.

No built-in notification unfortunately but I do check for them once a day or so. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually helps decrease vitriolic slap fights since we aren't instantly notified a la reddit. But yes, that was me that brought you back. I hate seeing calm discourse get downvoted simply because of disagreement. I actually like that I don't have that ability. Kind of refreshing. I'd like to think the karma requirement would help deter abusive voting but I see enough of it that I'm not so sure it's as effective as it could be. Better than nothing though, I suppose. But anyway, you're welcome. It's kind of funny but I felt the same way about the comments and your reply was really encouraging.
