I up voted you, the voting system on HN is a mystery to me.

  I got downvoted for upvoting you, the plot thickens...

    Your comment appeared to be complaining about downvotes (as does this one). Even if not that though, it's at least commenting about voting, which the guidelines discourage. > Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html I expect a comment more likely to be well received would be something discussing and/or reinforcing the specific points the parent made. In that context it would probably be fine to say something like, "I don't think you should have been downvoted." But without context or reasoning it doesn't have much substance.

      "I don't think you should have been downvoted." The virus is in the same family as some of the common cold virus'. Coronaviruses replicate their RNA genomes using enzymes called RNA-dependent RNA polymerases.
