He can't downvote you because your post is a direct child of his.

  Thanks, didn't know. So unless he has a few sock accounts, is HUD common knowledge among Unity users and that's why I'm being downvoted, or is it just downvote frenzy?

    HUD was a big announcement back then. I don't know how many people that use Unity know about it now, but it is not that esoteric. You are downvoted because of how your comment sounds and the false "the comment will be removed".

      The parent failed to add a link, so I did. That's why it's staying up. The way it sounds maybe partially, but I'm going to go with downvote frenzy for the rest. Never mind, an upvote frienzy around another comment of mine is keeping me afloat.

        What do you mean with "staying up"? It is not like you control what is staying up, nor that this is a site where stuff is deleted according to that criteria. That is why your comment is sounding that strange, which explains the downvotes. Has nothing to do with downvote frenzy. Enough OT for me.

        The "staying up" and "will be removed" were both in reference to paxcoder's own original comment in this thread. It appears that some people read it as referring to the parent; perhaps "this comment" would have been better written as "my comment".

        It's awkward, until your comment I sincerely had no other interpretation but the 'aggressive' one. And I reread the whole thing thrice because I was utterly confused why someone would 'appear' so commanding. Now it makes a lot of sense.

        Thanks for jumping in, you got me. I reckon the reason for downvotes is that others didn't then. Ambiguity didn't occur to me until I've read your comment.

      Right, it was a big announcement, but I just expected the idea to catch like fire everywhere. It was also part of a trend of fuzzy match now featured in many text editors, hence my little prediction, because personally I find it one of the most ergonomic UX.
