Are you not concerned about a CEO's abuse of users? What would it take to cross the line, in your mind, johncoltrane?
For example, suppose this happened on Hacker News. Would you leave if PG edited your comments? Other user's comments if you were sympathetic to them? Other user's comments that you disagreed with? Or do you lack any principle in this area?
- threepipeproblm 10y agoSo you downvoted instead of answering the question? Shocker. I take it that you do lack principled position, then.
- dozzie 10y agoHint: the person you're replying to cannot downvote your reply. This is a mechanism that prevents retaliation in the heat of discussion.
- threepipeproblm 10y agoThere is a reason I phrased it as a question. Thanks for clarifying this; comment redirected to the downvoters who haven't seen fit to articulate a response. Out of curiosity, what does one have achieve on HN in order to get downvoting ability in the first place? EDIT: No, I clearly screwed this up by presuming and I apologize to johncoltrane for that. It doesn't change that no downvoter, nor johncoltrane, has been able to justify their position. Are they against criticism of this kind on HN? Because I think that's a tenuous position. Do they believe it's not really a risk to users when CEO's set a tone by editing for their personal agenda, or that such isn't relevant to HN? To me, those would be reasons not to upvote... but in this case, downvoting without comment suggests that these are simply liberals who dislike Trump supporters and cannot separate that from the involved principles.

- johncoltrane 10y agoNo, someone else downvoted you (and, supposedly, your pointless drama).
