Love the downvotes for bringing facts.

    Why not? Sometimes people downvoate a perfectly good, informative or interesting comment for completely stupid, bullshit cliquish reasons on HN and it absolutely deserves to be called out when it's obvious.

      I mean, the explanation is in the rule itself. Has anything magically changed overtime because someone doubled down and said "oh no I'm being attacked with downvotes!". Never saw it end positively on Reddit, never saw it end positively on HN. Also, it's all about the delivery. >Love the downvotes for bringing facts. just comes off as snark. If you really want to invite more nuanced responses to the clique, say so >I am open to rebuttals or corrections if I'm incorrect on something. replies matter so much more than points. That's why the points aren't public to begin with. So invite that instead of pseudo-begging for upvotes.
