My comments were about the downvotes the other guy was receiving, for which I could only see political motives, not about the matter. It is pretty clear in the HN guidelines that downvotes shouldn't be used to punish people you disagree with, but I see an army of politicized people doing it consistently, so it makes sense to identify these people with what I personally think from certain political groups. The discussion could continue from that point, with other people disagreeing with me and saying that the downvotes had a reasonable motive or whatever.
