Why do some comments like this one turn grey?
- sharmajai 10y agoDownvoting.
- gumby 10y agoIt was downvoted.
- cgvgffyv 10y agoThe person who wrote it is deemed to be an idiot, according to the hivemind.
- sctb 10y agoWe don't need such inflammatory and obviously unfair comments like this on Hacker News.
- swiley 10y agoI really like what Scott Adams says: it's something like "People aren't idiots, they just experience bouts of idiocy (some more often than others)."
- ebcode 10y agoYeah, I get your point about the hivemind, but I think it's less damaging to see downvoting as being about the comment, not the person. iow, don't take it personally.
