The voting system on HN is being used to punish those that try to stay calm and put things into perspective. Frankly, this actually surprises me. Either I always have had a distored view of the hacker culture, or some large scale manipulation is going on. Since I am not inclined to believe in conspiracy theories, I guess I was always wrong about the hacker culture and its people. And now, let the donwvotes come. I am pretty done with this site anyway. BTW, why doesn't HN allow me to delete my account? This seems worse then FaceBook. Even Twitter lets you delete your account and your posts. I smell bigotry, and that is why I want to run away.
