Wow, you must have a tough time on the internet with this thin skin of yours... Relax, why do you care about karma so much? Make your comments, and forget about them. If you get downvoted, you might want to think about why, but acting on it (and throwing a tantrum about it, which this is, basically) is pointless. Just comment when you feel like it, try to add something to the discussion when you do, and forget about the rest...

Okay. This is mostly my final comment here. Sort of replying to all the various comments here... Typically, I don't have a tough time. As I talk to people on the Internet, as if I would talk to them in real life. I don't take advantage of the anonymity. You can see all my prev comments as a proof. I maintain: down-voting, should only be used for spammers, or for clearly defined things (like profanity being used etc.) . As it does feel quite insulting, to be down-voted. The up-votes, itself, can handle everything. In any case, I am not really upset now, or anything (thanks for trying to make me stay, as a commenter, in good cheer) :) You can consider, this as my way of protesting, about things I don't agree with it. (And I stand to gain, no advantage, out of this as I have been anonymous, on this from the beginning...).

  Hey, I totally agree with you. Dowvoting below 0 should only be for spammers/trolls. Profanity? Fuck no! I'd hate it if profanity got downvoted on here. See my comment from almost a year ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1161148 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1161148 But the reality is, downvoting goes wrong sometimes. That shouldn't be such a big deal, though. It works most of the time. Just stick around and you'll see.
