It seems like any second order discussion of behavior on Hacker News that takes place in the comments is now getting down modded. I'm a bit worried about the trend towards groupthink this encourages. Perhaps the user did not read the article, krschultz, but users up voting your comment without hearing a response from the previous commenter is just as bad as your assumption. The fact that your snarky response has gotten up voted seems suspect. Regardless, discussion about the community itself is healthy, hopefully the HN community realizes that and can sustain it. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that the comment should not be down modded at all, just questioning the reason for which you claim you down modded. (I'm curious to see if this comment will be down modded as well)
