wow, why the harsh downmodding?

  I'm not sure in this case - it would seem to me that the community here is basically split 50/50 on this issue, and there does seem to be a lot of emotional modding going on. That being said, generally on HN one-liners that don't really add substantial elements to the discussions are downmodded to oblivion in an attempt to keep this place from degenerating into reddit ;)

    FWIW, the grandparent was a genuine question, i wasn't trying to be a jackass. > That being said, generally on HN one-liners that don't really add substantial elements to the discussions are downmodded to oblivion in an attempt to keep this place from degenerating into reddit ;) ha. fair enough. though the long version of what i meant is "hells yes, thanks for saying this more eloquently than I could've".
