Boy, I wonder if the fact that these guys basically just goofed around and took pictures instead of burning down the capitol (like what happened in the Portland courthouse) had any bearing on that.

- ryguytilidie 6y agoGenuine question: Are you aware that you're a sad disingenuous husk of a man or is this just your natural state and you know nothing else?
- Shared404 6y agoThere are all sorts of negative emotions it's reasonable to feel right now. That being said, we can do better than personal attacks.
- xienze 6y agoYes, like people going through all my older posts and downvoting them.
- Shared404 6y agoI don't know whether or not anyone is going back and downvoting all your older posts. However, having looked at your last several, I am not shocked that they are negative.
- xienze 6y agoThey have, for the record. I.e., posts from the morning that were effectively were dead got additional downvotes rapidly after posts in this thread. And I got plenty of HN’s passive aggressive “you’re posting too fast” messages. Are you a mod? For example, look at this comment[0], which stood at 1 all day long, which is now -3 after last night. 0: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=25658587&goto=threads%3Fnext%3D25658587%26id%3Dxienze%2325658587 https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=25658587&goto=threads%...
- Shared404 6y ago> Are you a mod? Nope. Not even close. You should be able to get the modmail from the guidelines or FAQ or someplace.
- neartheplain 6y agoIf you believe someone has done this (downvoting all your old comments on unrelated posts), try emailing the modstaff. It happened to me once and dang quickly fixed it.
- the-dude 6y agoDownvoting only is possible for the last 24 or 48 hours or so. Also, you are complaining about voting. Boring.
- xienze 6y agoDid I say it was downvotes past 48 hours? Just ones that people had stopped paying attention to because the posts fell off the front page got additional downvotes moments after a new post in this thread.
- dang 6y agoYou can't do this here, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are. We ban accounts that do it. Please don't. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Edit: a large proportion of your most recent, say, 10 comments to HN have been breaking the site guidelines really badly. I don't want to ban you, because you've been a user here for a long time and you've posted many good things. But if you keep doing this, we're not going to have any choice. Having something like this be your first comment in months is extremely dismaying.
- maybe_ 6y agoFour people died today, I'm not sure if I would classify that as "goofing around".
- neartheplain 6y agoOne was an unarmed woman shot by law enforcement, as police have confirmed [0]. The other 3 died near the riot due to separate medical emergencies [1].

- dang 6y agoPlease don't take HN threads further into flamewar. We're trying to avoid the hell we're all sinking into. Comments like this are a sharp push hellward, so please don't. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
