Not sure why the downvotes..

• TomMarius 9y ago
  Because HN crowd seems to be more left-leaning

    No. They just aren't assholes.
    • TomMarius 9y ago
      I never said that the owners aren't assholes, but still, it was the developers' free choice to sign that (asshole-ish) agreement. Being more to the right than the HN crowd doesn't mean being an asshole.

        No, but throwing around political accusations as epithets in a non-political discussion might.
        • TomMarius 9y ago
          I'm not accusing anyone, being left leaning is nothing wrong; it's just a different viewpoint on the issue of allowing people to freely sign contracts even though it might not be a good deal. This is a political discussion, we're talking about regulating something. I replied to a comment that asked why is a seemingly OK comment being downvoted and because there are no other obvious signs, the logical conclusion is that it's because of political disagreement.

      Well I see some correlation between being left-leaning and not being asshole to employees ;)
      • TomMarius 9y ago
        Well, my anecdata is the exact opposite. ;)

  Yeah, i have a family who is bound to my families stone-quary since 5 generations by debt-contract, i can not fathom where the problem is here.

  Why do I get downvoted for saying I didn't understand why someone downvoted a post? Is it the way I phrased my comment that is downvoted? Or my lack of understanding?
