On HN you cannot downvote someone who responds to you, so uh, that's not what is happening.

- siphon22 7y agoI apologize for the wrong assumption, it's just confusing why anyone else would downvote me for asking a genuine question that was also just informing the writer of the medium post about a mistake that may have confused other readers too.
- icebraining 7y agoInforming the author about a mistake is usually OK. But the "I had to stop reading here" line sounds dismissive and somewhat rude. But I may also be wrong about why people downvoted you; sometimes it just seem random, so you shouldn't take it too seriously.
- ThomPete 7y agoI didn't downvote you, but if it's any comfort I got downvoted too :) I am however not going to change that sentence even though I know it doesn't sound (and might not even be grammatically correct) :) You can think of it as a more open way of asking. I.e. "where are problems hiding" it's instead of asking what is a problem" because I was trying to explore where they could be found.
