why? Is my english that bad?

  No, no, you English is fine. However, its highly ironic that you never managed to finish and launch your event. An event who's entire purpose is to help people finish and launch things ...

      No, it's not. It's ironic.

        The whole point of that song was that everything seemingly ironic was NOT in fact ironic at all. :)

    > you English is fine Speaking of ironies, a sort of reverse-Muphry here?
  - armandososa 15y ago
    Ok I got the irony. Sorry. The thing is having ideas is even easier than starting. But having a good idea barely prepares you to execute it. I'm very, very bad at social relationships so it's extra-hard for me to do something that involves motivating a community. I'm still going to give it a shot though.

  You failed to launch the project that was going to help people launch projects.

  I am assuming an 'h' is missing? launchathon versus hackathon?

What is trolling about that?
- pbreit 15y ago
  Why the downvote? I don't see how the GP's comment could be construed as trolling. Unless I'm missing some innuendo (which if I am doesn't seem very funny).

    Someone is trolling you. Downvotes should have usernames attached, and cost a karma point.
    - codabrink 15y ago
      And karma should only be from comments. I don't understand why someone has downvoting power just because they stumbled across and posted a popular story on HN. Like the guy who submitted the story for Steve Job's death, now has over 1k karma simply from posting a link to apple.com at the right time, and from nothing else. How does that qualify him to downvote over me, who has been thoughtfully posting comments here and there for nearly a year now? I'm not really that concerned. I don't care about karma, really. I just think it's a very stupid system.

        I agree the system is flawed here. I think Stack Exchange solves this problem nicely with their daily 200 point cap. This way it forces you to make a time investment in addition to posting quality content.
