PG: STOP these GD personal MOD attacks on me. STOP IT.

prodigal_erik 15y ago
I doubt it's personal. Most of us upvote useful signal (like http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3420657 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3420657, which has not been grayed out by a negative score) and downvote useless noise (like any yelling about voting) regardless of who wrote it.

  The attacks are from downvoting, not upvoting. Only a small fraction of HN users can downvote. With so much downvoting, it has to be the MODs who are doing it. It's so consistent that it's a personal attack on me.

    Who the HELL are the MODs you speak of? Accumulate 500 karma and you too can downvote.

What personal mod attacks are you talking about? You come across as schizophrenic. Users with enough karma can downvote posts. I downvoted your sub-replies because they lack a point or relevancy, you're attacking users and overall being belligerent. Not only that, but you demand coherent replies, yet failed to respond to the top comment reply that was courteous enough to reply to you.

  My original post was downvoted within minutes of when I posted it, and there was no reply. This is NOT nearly the first time. There is a pattern, and I'd be a fool not to conclude that one or more HN MODS are personally angry at me. "schizophrenic"? Total nonsense; look up the meaning of the word, a very specific medical term. Not even paranoid. I'm just defending myself against a pattern over the past few months at HN. There is a pattern of my being attacked, and this one post is just the most recent example. As far as I can tell, I'm responding to every response that can use a response. I've more than once asked PG to correct this. We will see what he does. This situation is a scandal at HN.

    >This situation is a scandal at HN. The post you just replied to (my post, that is) has been to -2 and back. I have posts downvoted all of the time. I think you severely underestimate the number of active users with the ability to downvote. There's probably a reason that PG hasn't replied to you.
