As mentioned in http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1400882 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1400882, where I'll continue replying, such comments were "upvoted furiously" because people agreed with it despite its caustic wording. Could that be because the original article provoked such a response? I believe so. Plenty of food for thought.
- binomial 16y agosuch comments were "upvoted furiously" because people agreed with it despite its caustic wording I'm well aware that people upvoted it because they agreed with the sentiment. I was trying to say that this is not a good thing, and that the name-calling (not just "caustic wording" mind you, name-calling is a different beast) should have stopped any upvoting in spite of any agreement. I'm sure many on HN would disagree, since people mostly voted those comments up.
