- nl 15y agoI've noticed this a lot lately. People seem to randomly downvote a post they think is "wrong", with no explanation. Asking for one seems to make it worse. (eg: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2586625 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2586625. Perhaps I was a touch rude, but a better response would have been to reply politely, point out where I was wrong and make me seem like a small-minded fool. Instead, downvotes are the response.)
