Not sure why you've being downvoted, you actually have a good point!
- diego 14y agoI guess some people on Hacker News don't have a thick skin. Some are actually scared of things that seem trivial to me, like writing a blog post and submitting it. They don't like being called on it. Oh, well.
- ralmeida 14y agoI couldn't disagree more with parent's opinion: I don't consider 'scariness' to be transitive in this context (see related comment of soldier being afraid of spiders) and the tone seems arrogant and "look at me, I'm an overachiever" to me. HOWEVER, one's agreeing or disagreeing SHOULD NOT determine a vote (so, doesn't matter if he has a 'good point' or not). The people who have the karma to downvote (I don't) should swallow it up if they strongly disagree with the comment, but can't justify why the opinion can't be said. TL;DR; one shouldn't downvote because of opinion, no matter how nocive or negative one might find it.
- BrandonM 14y agoThis makes for a pretty easy downvote: Edit: and you are too scared to offer a counterpoint, so you anonymously downvote instead :)
- ralmeida 14y agoTrue, but he wouldn't have edited this in if he had not been downvoted first. But I do agree that the bullying and the sarcasm were unecessary and somewhat justified the downvotes.
