Amusing, IMMEDIATE downvote by closed-source advocates.

  More likely, it's your phrasing and typography that is causing downvotes rather than your ideology. Using capitals for emphasis violates the guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), and for many people, starting with repeated this's pattern-matches to a low quality comment. You might ask yourself if your style is conducive to the message you are trying to convey.

    Hmm. I have my doubts re: reason, for it wasn't excessive, but point taken.

      I don't give two flying farts how you chose to punctuate or emphasize your comment. I fully appreciated it and agree with it a lot. Unsure why downvoted as well. (Also new here, so will make note of rules).
