I don't agree with the comments in question but downvoting them to oblivion is a bit harsh and uncalled for. It's like that scene from the high school movie trope where a group of kids tells another kid they can't sit at their lunch table.
- dang 5y agoThat would be more like downvoting an account or a person. Downvoting a comment simply signals that there's something wrong with the comment. If the next comment is fine, it's welcome at the lunch table. It's true that comments sometimes get downvoted unfairly, but I'm not seeing that in this thread. In such cases, though, the thing to do is give them a corrective upvote: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=corrective%20upvote https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....
