- bitwize 9y agoBecause Hackernews users are fond of shooting the messenger. If someone posts a truth that Hackernews wishes were not true, they'll be downmodded to oblivion.

- dang 9y agoPlease don't take threads into this extremely repetitive territory. It breaks the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. One reason we have such a guideline is that usually the vote totals don't stay the way they were. Then we end up with a tedious subthread which is garbage in the additional sense that it's no longer connected to the thing it was referring to.
