- LAC-Tech 5y agoHNs down-voting mechanism has definitely trained me - pavlov dogs style - to only write things that people here will like most of the time. Working as intended?

- LAC-Tech 5y agoTempting... but then you go too far in the opposite direction and assume people only disagree with you because they're just too dumb. I think the ideal is to take the feedback, consider it, but feel free to discard it. But at least consider that you said something dumb or didn't express it as well as you could have.
