So, why is this encouraging and helpful message being downvoted into gray? I can only assume some salty graduates are lashing out.
Don't do that to yourself, i.e. living bitter and angry. Engage with those you disagree with by conversing. Correct them or be corrected and learn.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoI got to say I have given up worrying about why people are downvoting what I say, I do have a suspicion that I have a couple people who when they see my name automatically downvote - oh it's that guy again - although I don't think they search me out to downvote either. on edit: at any rate I upvoted it as you're right, seems an encouraging nice message.
- sk5t 6y agoFWIW across ~10 years of HNing my sense is it's pretty hard to land on > 1 person's shitlist, and while it's unlikely you've garnered a coterie of haters, it is the iron law of HN that complaining about--or speculating about potential--downvotes attracts many downvotes.
