I don't get why there are so many down-mods to perfectly civil comments, as evidenced by their zero-karma scores. I just upvoted all of them, for which I will no doubt be downvoted by the same worthy who down-voted the others.
- kragen 16y agoThere are lots of perfectly civil comments that add nothing to whatever discussion they are part of: stupid jokes, restating the obvious, complaining about downvoting, and so on. People often downvote such comments in order that others will be able to more easily find the comments worth reading.
- dctoedt 16y agoNone of the comments I upvoted were in any of those categories -- at least not IMHO, and therein lies the problem, it usually comes down to a matter of opinion. As long as PG doesn't separately state upvotes and downvotes, a better answer might be to reply to comments you don't love with "RTO" (restates the obvious) or "ANTD" (adds nothing to discussion).
