Thank you for an interesting answer to the question raised. The censors still down vote it. Unbelievable.

  "Don't be snarky." "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

    On the contrary, it is quite interesting. It does not seem "snarky" in the slightest. I like to read comments about voting on comments.

      Ok.. (I was going to say, I'm new here, but I notice you've hardly commented, in 2 years on here.) So I shouldn't expect people to follow the site guidelines, or ask them to? Edit: Actually, reading the parent again, "The censors still down vote it. Unbelievable." Seems massively snarky. Not sure how you can't see that. These "Oh poor me" mentions of "censors", "HN groupthink" - whatever someone's childish conspiracy-label is for when they dont get their way or everyone doesn't agree with them - are 100% snarky. At best, they carry an assumption of "I'm right here, the innocent persecuted; you're wrong, 'them', the faceless enemy" etc. I guess sometimes there is a difference of opinion about the topic commented on which leads, as here, to disagreement how justified whining/complaining about downvoting is. Which is I guess why there's the simple rule, don't complain about downvoting. From what I can see, the people who complain about it have made false assumptions about why. Their complaints are their outward revenge for the pain of their false beliefs.
