For what it's worth, I usually upvote yummyfajitas' comments and I find him/her a very valuable part of HN, but in this particular case I downvoted because I think they erred on the side of insulting in their comment. Judging by the gray, others might've felt the same way. In my opinion it distracts from the actual points that were made. That said, it is a decent possible that no insult was intended, so I'd suggest we just move on and discuss the content rather than the tone.
