A bit ridiculous that I'm being downvoted for misspelling "its" as "it's". I've now corrected it in the above post.

- grzm 10y agoI'm often curious why particular comments are down voted, so this caught my eye. Why did you come to the conclusion that it was due to a typo? That said, I don't have an alternative theory.
- jwtadvice 10y agoI wasn't certain, but it was the only grammatical error I could see in the comment.
- grzm 10y agoDo you know it was due to grammar? I've seen mention that some people will down vote for disagreement, for example.
- jwtadvice 10y agoI hadn't considered it. The HN crowd is a lot better at understanding that downvotes are for comments that do not contribute to the conversation, rather than what they disagree with. Maybe that's a more popular trend now? Having been active on HN for a long time and watched it evolve I guess I could see that... Anyway, the branch of the conversation has gotten quite deep down the 'meta' rabbithole.
- grzm 10y agoAgreed. Thanks for the feedback!
