I'm pretty sure you are getting downvotes because your original comment was needless political snark. Now you are making baseless accusations of "vote manipulat

  So political snark is synonymous with making an observation now is it. I mention vote manipulation because it was very apparent that is what igotspam had done. I care not for meaningless points but when people use multiple accounts to further their own point it is disingenuous and serves the community to highlight this sort of behaviour so others do not waste time interacting with him.

    > So political snark is synonymous with making an observation now is it. [sic] a) you didn't make an observation, you asked a question b) it was a snarky question c) they're laying off folks from, according to the article, 'almost every department of the nonprofit organization' > I mention vote manipulation because it was very apparent that is what igotspam had done. Or, y'know, thousands of people read HN and some large number of them think that you're off-base.

    Accusing people of vote manipulation probably violates the guidelines. If you actually think someone is manipulating the votes (eg with dual accounts) you should email the mods and let them know. They seem receptive to that kind of thing. In this case it seems unlikely that you've been downvoted by one person with two accounts. Downvotes are sometimes accidental; and incorrect or unfair downvotes are often corrected. But accusing people of bad faith downvotes is a sure way to attract more downvotes.
