Yeah, but that is just how people are. You can huff and puff but clearly the design and format of HN is largely to blame.
People whining about down votes and then complaining about it only makes the discussions worse. Your comment is going to be seen by maybe .1% of HN. There are better avenues to raise this issues.
If you want to change how down votes are handled going off topic in a discussion is not how you do it.
If you are complaining about down votes you are polluting the discussion even more than the erroneous down votes themselves.
People are people. It takes more to change behavior than complaints.

If that's the case, then both you and I are pissing into the wind here. > If you are complaining about down votes you are polluting the discussion even more than the erroneous down votes themselves. What about complaining about complaints about downvotes? Does that pollute the discussion or is it exempt?
- tobltobs 10y agoPissing against the wind and complaining about complaining is ok now, because this thread is at the bottom now, where it belongs and if somebody is scrolling down so far he might be looking for stuff like this.
