why are both your comments greyed out?

  That's what happens when comments get a lot of downvotes. You don't see a "karma" score on HN, but comments with negative number of votes get more and more grayed out until they are hardly visible.

    It's not so much the content, it's the tone. People don't like being talked down to, even if the points are relevant.
