Correctly downvoted: 1. guidelines "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances", 2. HN site norms are enforced by downvotes - downvoting is correct by definition
Plus another important guideline is "Please don't comment about the voting on comments". I'm trying to help you moderate yourself - of course the next escalation is for this inane subthread (including my comments) to be flagged.

- lukan 2y ago"Correctly downvoted: 1. guidelines "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances"" We disagree on "tangential annoyances". And that's it from my side.
- mckirk 2y agoYou might as well quote the rule in full, if you are going to throw the guidelines around. > Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. I think this makes it pretty clear that this guideline wasn't talking about people trying to provide helpful feedback for a developer, letting them know about a strange edge-case (i.e., why should an extension injecting CSS even mess with WebGL content?) that they might want to look into.
