I did it in retaliation to the person(s) who downvoted someone speaking well of Microsoft products.
If you really want to see how petty people can be, try being a Microsoft fan around here.
- oskarth 11y agoI appreciate the honesty and the predicament for someone who likes Microsoft, but surely you can see how this type of pettiness and retaliation is bad for the community? Be better than the Apple fanboys ;)
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoThe comments that I downvoted turned a little grey and weren't even moved downwards much, so it's probably not that bad for the community. Thanks for your advice, but I find that shoving people's bad behavior right in their face by doing things back to them is a much more effective tool against assholes than just letting them be.
- dang 11y ago> shoving people's bad behavior right in their face That is not a legitimate way to use Hacker News. Neither is downvoting a good comment because of someone else's bad comments. And I'm dismayed to see that several of your recent comments here have been uncivil. Please don't do these things. If people behave badly because other people do, what hope is there of improving this community? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoTalking about downvotes is also frowned upon, so please don't do that either. Thank you.
- dang 11y agoBelieve me, I don't like writing these any more than you like reading them. Please just follow the rules so neither of us will have to.
- WorldWideWayne 11y agoIf most other people are following the rules, I will certainly follow them. Given that dependency, I can't guarantee anything though.
