- bubblethink 6y agoYou are commenting in a fanboy thread. Don't take it personally. HN is not more "enlightened" than the rest of the internet when it comes to fanboy stuff.
- reaperducer 6y agoI think it was the way you phrased it. It sounds combative. If you had stated it more plainly, people probably would have left you alone. Also, people tend to get downvoted for starting or ending comments with "lol," as it shows a basic lack of respect for other people on HN.
- linus_torvalds 6y agoI would say my phrasing was misunderstood. I was genuinely curious...oh well... I'm doing that now because I've been downvoted. I didn't do that with my initial question which was the one that was downvoted.
