This particular comment isn't being modded down for the content of your argument, it's being modded down because you're talking about yourself, and not the issue.
Also, being modded down is not even comparable to censorship.
- grandalf 17y agoOk so you fancy yourself some sort of HN rules referee? I gather that you disagree with my other posts, so why not write a rebuttal? That is generally the preferred way to handle such things on HN (unlike reddit).
- TrevorJ 17y agoThe posts where you do lay out your arguments are currently not in the negative karma zone, and they appear to be garnering at least some responses.
- grandalf 17y agoTrue, but far more downvotes than constructive replies/comments. Sort of discouraging to me but I guess I need to find a more mind-opening meme to begin with :)
- dandelany 17y agoI'm not a rules referee, I'm just explaining why I downvoted this particular post. It was a comment about how you feel you've personally been slighted by the HN community, and I didn't feel like that comment added anything to the conversation. I see very little evidence of this type of behavior. I do not disagree with your other posts, I haven't even read them. Your username doesn't ring a bell. If I did disagree, I would write a rebuttal. This is not about you and your posts, it's about this particular comment, which I don't consider to be constructive.
