I second this. Recently I posted a story about a project I'm working on (Rails Tutorial, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1138149 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1138149), and someone made a trollish comment I felt obliged to rebut. I was pleasantly surprised to see other HN readers come to my defense with comments and downvotes. I did end up responding, but I probably shouldn't have, and next time I'll probably sit on my hands and see how it shakes out.
