> I often use HN to practice writing. ... > The next most common source of down votes (for me) is being argumentative. Interesting. The main thing that motivates me to comment here - other than when someone touches the surface of a topic that piques my curiosity - is when I see something that is either blatantly wrong, or seems to be missing an obvious piece of clarifying information. (Examples of wrongness: C# is the best language one can learn, any random non-MBA-holder can be given a loan and expected to make a successful business of it, random 6-year-olds can understand CS, one person without political office can make a difference among our population of 300 million, etc.)
