Feel free to deduct another point or two. That seems to be the case with my comments recently. Welcome to an open discussion on HN ( ...and here's anothecpoint gone for criticism).
- johng 5y agoDon’t know why anyone would downvote you. It’s a valid question.
- gambiting 5y agoI just don't understand why you'd make this comment literally 2 minutes after writing the original one. 1) you can still edit the original to add this remark if you really want to, although it's frowned upon 2) initial downvotes mean nothing, I've had comments go to -10 before jumping back up to +30 few hours later. Why would you complain about it within 3 minutes of posting is beyond me.
- bpodgursky 5y agoBecause it's really annoying getting reflexively downvoted by idealogues or zealots who have nothing else to say.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoNot everyone who thinks you're flat-out wrong is an idealogue or a zealot.
- myrandomcomment 5y agoMy first read on your comment was the tone in it is inflammatory and designed to provoke vs make a point or a validate argument. That is likely why you were downvoted. I can very much be accused of doing the same thing in some of my comments on emotional topics and in general the results are not as good as if I had framed things as a statement or a question without being emotional. YMMV.
- cjbenedikt 5y agoAnd success! Lost more points than I could've hoped for.
