Certain types of making fun of things make for valid comments. In this case, I was pointing out the striking similarity between what he said, and 1984.
- BrandonM 19y agoSorry about that, I somehow missed the reference. As for the comment thread, I did read it a few days ago, but I don't typically go back and re-read comment threads. Also, I don't tend to recognize names until I've seen them a lot. I was making the (apparently wrong) assumption that as a relatively new user, you weren't familiar with Hacker News karma-assignment trends. I had already voted all three of the posts up, anyways, because I felt the highly-negative karma was a bit unfair.
- xlnt 19y agoPeople missing the reference was kind of my guess, but I wasn't sure. Thanks. And, yeah, I knew that asking why the downmodding would be downmodded. It's ok. It was worth it. And I expected you had read the comment thread and just didn't remember my name, but it was still funny ;p
