She tried a conversational writing style and failed.

  Seems that you can't even combine 'she' and 'failed' in one sentence here on HN. Looking for alternatives, since the issue still persists.

    Your parent comment is nearly void of substance and dismissive. It's okay to have a criticism of the the writing style, but without some additional information about why (e.g., examples, comparisons with similar styles of writing), it adds little constructive to the conversation. That in and of itself can draw downvotes.

      Reasons why were listed in our root comment, and parent posted at the time when it was not flagged. Ironically, parent comment even somewhat protected author's lameness, but you can't see that now. I blame the blind power of sjw here, not anything else.

        I browse with showdead on and had read the thread prior to my comment. If the reasons are listed upthread, there's even less reason for the unsubstantive addition. Constructive discussions require adding something substantial. If the comment was intended to support the author in some way, it needs to justify that as well, or even make the case that that's the intent.
