But you are apportioning blame. You are calling HN a bunch of unbalanced, immature children with a thin skin and no sense of humor. But, if you've such a thick skin, why obsess over downvotes? They mean nothing except that your post annoyed someone enough for them to click a little button. If you're so convinced it's HN and not you that's the problem, why should it bother you?

> "You are calling HN a bunch of unbalanced, immature children with a thin skin and no sense of humor." Did you not say essentially the same? Worded differently, but a comment to the same effect. Why hassle that commenter over different wordings of the same concept?

But you are apportioning blame. You are calling HN a bunch of unbalanced, immature children with a thin skin and no sense of humor. I'm describing it from my point of view - I'm not so egocentric to see my perspective as universally true. Hence why I attempted to see it from their perspective. But, if you've such a thick skin, why obsess over downvotes? I didn't bring it up, someone else did and I offered an explanation.
