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...).
- swombat 16y agoHey, 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.
