When an account calling itself "hn_check" posts a series of comments like these they're going to get downvotes across most of their comments:
"Every clown who repeated this and argued the unfairness of it, like rattray here -- delete your accounts."
"rattray is intentionally spreading hilariously dumb misinformation to make HN look like a bunch of stupid assholes."
"This place is a den of absolute idiots, time and time again. And when it is realized it goes to auto-dead time. Absolutely fucking embarrassing for anyone who is proud of their association with this shithole of stupidity."
"Don't ever change your adorable ignorance, HN. It's such a laugh.
And this will be auto-dead. I was spot on and completely right and got pummeled down by the imbeciles of this cesspool. Hilarious. "
- lostmsu 6y agoHm, if I got a comment like this in reply to mine, I would double-check my facts before rushing to the downvote button.
- DanBC 6y agoYou can't downvote replies to your own comments, so it's other people reading the insults and (correctly) downvoting them.
- woobar 6y agoLooking at his comments I see insults coming 3 hours after his original comments were voted down. Apparently, being civil did not worked out for him either.
- renewiltord 6y agoHaha, so would I. I think I'd instantly suspect I've fucked up in some dramatic way. But HN is usually civility > truth. The community values politeness over correctness. Useful to know that characteristic. I use a personal user-moderation tool built by a friend to remove these people from comments. I actually really like these threads since it lets me identify people with lower thresholds for truth and lower thresholds for what they'll amplify as truth.
