I urge you to reconsider being influenced by a minority who aren't using the voting feature with the spirit intended. Your contributions are very rarely net downvoted, and your average karma/comment is actually better than almost half of the http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders http://news.ycombinator.com/leaders list.
- lkrubner 16y agoThat is surprising and interesting to know. Thanks for that.
- lkrubner 16y agoIronic that your comment was downvoted. Some people are fairly harsh about downvoting stuff on Hacker News. I just upvoted you.
- solipsist 16y agoI was responsible for downvoting that comment as I disagreed with the content. What bothered me was the following phrase: I urge you to reconsider being influenced by a minority who aren't using the voting feature with the spirit intended. As this was clearly directed to people like me, I feel the need to justify my intentions. Saying that I am part of the minority and am using the voting feature incorrectly is a bold statement that is coming without justification or evidence. Both of you should go back and read the HN Guidelines again in order to be reminded of what determines if a comment is of good quality or bad quality. I use the voting featured based off the HN Guidelines, which I would say is the spirit intended. It's that simple.
- prodigal_erik 16y agoYou are correct. I'm sorry, for some reason I honestly thought our host (and the author of "How to Disagree") had taken a stand against such downvotes, but after doing my homework I'm somewhat dismayed to see he's fine with it. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171
