Is it?

- braingenious 4y ago@dang I’d look into this. Edit: There are two accounts that are happy to publicly disagree with me within seconds of eachother, and three-six that are are happy to downvote privately within those same seconds. Maybe I’m magically guilty of having The Wrong Take or there are some people that will kneejerk use their network of accounts to downvote things that aren’t useful to their buddies.
- camtarn 4y agoNo ... it's really not a giant conspiracy. You're just guilty of being a jerk on a very public website which doesn't take kindly to jerks. I've downvoted all of your comments on this thread because they are completely unrelated to the subject of the article, and consist solely of a joke spectacularly flying over your head to the point where you're getting aggressive and throwing around conspiracy theories about downvoting rings.
- braingenious 4y agoIt’s not huge, it’s just a couple people. (I think, they won’t answer basic questions about posting within a second of one another.)
- camtarn 4y agoHonestly, I normally wouldn't answer a question that sounds like an invitation to an increasingly bizarre thread with a paranoid person either. I'll be dipping out of this conversation after this reply.
- braingenious 4y agoI am glad that you’re not involved in this chat! I wish you well and encourage you to look into the facts I’ve brought up.
- asddubs 4y agoI had written a sarcastic response, but I'll be nice instead. Don't you think two people could independently see that you missed a joke and come up with the very generically phrased response of "isn't it a joke?" to point this out? I mean it's four words. It's certainly a more plausible explanation than being some sort of grand conspiracy involving sockpuppet accounts.
- nottorp 4y agoYou're humour challenged. But so is most of HN. Perhaps if you scrolled down to the actual article you would have found it interesting?
