You're probably right. It's pretty childish to upvote/downvote a comment because you have the same/different opinion rather than based on the value it adds to the conversation.
- DanBC 8y agoSuggesting that physical violence against children "works" is a low value contribution. And you misunderstand the voting culture on HN.
- ddingus 8y agoI just added some clarity that should rebut the "low value" part of that contribution. Ugly truth isn't low value, it's ugly. There is a difference, and that difference was made clear. What happened was people saw that, went full stop. That's OK. I will rarely refrain, when I deem it necessary. I don't think I should as that is actually a disservice to me, and readers here.
