So what, we downvote people for volunteering contrary anecdotes now? Come on HN.

  It's not downvoted.

    It was.

      But it’s not anymore. For all we know it was just a single early downvote, but your comment criticised the whole community. The guidelines ask us not to make comments about downvoting, as they make for boring, shitty discussions like this, and because a downvoted state on a comment is often temporary, whereas a discussion about it is permanent.

        We can agree to disagree.
