Get over yourself. Some people agree and some people disagree. Replying to your own comment like this is just cringeworthy.

- sehr 11y agoIt's also against the HN guidelines.
- theoh 11y agoTechnically the guidelines only mention complaining about being downvoted. Crowing over upvotes appears to be permitted. Personally I think the ability to anonymously downvote a comment is socially problematic, and it creates a climate in which long-term users (who can downvote) can appear to be more intolerant of dissenting voices than they probably are.

- fapjacks 11y agoSort of related, but possibly interesting... I've created a Chrome extension that completely removes all of the voting functionality and point tallies from my interface (except for being able to upvote threads on the main or new posts page). Including removing the lighter-grey of downvoted posts. I noticed long ago that I was allowing myself to be behavior-shaped through comment voting, and saw how it had impacted my own conversation and even thought processes. Had to do away with that as much as I could.

- dang 11y ago> Get over yourself. Please don't be uncivil in comments here.
- carsongross 11y agoIn fairness, my original comment was pretty uncivilized. If I could edit it now, I would rephrase it to something more along the lines of "This blog post shows some pretty nice code you can write in ES6, but overall the new features in ES6 are deeply flawed etc. etc."
