Many other HN readers aspire to something bigger and better than that, and the tone of your post may have sounded hostile to some of them. That's not necessarily a good excuse for whacking the downvote arrow, but there are other excuses that are good ones, such as the ridiculously poor UI design of said arrows that make it too easy to hit the wrong one, combined with the Slashdot-era inability to correct an accidental moderation.
