You can't have a thread about Apple (or people competing with Apple) without expecting a few comments to get downvoted, it's just the nature of the audience those threads attract.
- w1ntermute 16y agoThat was my reaction as well. At first I thought the examples were going to be a few random, unrelated comments, but instead they were all anti-Apple comments. No matter how high-minded your community is, you have to expect this kind of behavior from Apple fanboys. But it certainly doesn't mean the community as a whole is rotting.
- skbohra123 16y agoI suffered with this. Comment anything you disagree about Apple and it gets downvoted immediately.
- Vivtek 16y agoThat's because Apple threads are religion threads.
- skbohra123 16y agobtw, you have a nice website.
- rbanffy 16y agoI would add to the list of religious issues posts about Microsoft and its related technologies, posts about Zed Shaw, just to name a few... touchy subjects. Most of the time I say something negative about Microsoft I append a "burn, karma, burn" to it because I know I'll take a beating.
- anonymous245 16y agoIf you're getting downvoted on HN for criticizing Microsoft, you might want to take a serious second look at those comments. Oh btw, I took a look at them and if anything you're getting off easy.
