I don't understand why this has been downvoted as it doesn't violate any rule on HN. Even if I personally disagree with the comment, it explores a different point of view and it's a contribution to the discussion. Downvoting to express disagreement is a plague that must be eradicated.

We are the Borg. Your differing viewpoint will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Whenever I see someone downvoted for an unpopular (on HN, anyway) opinion, I always upvote the comment, even if I don't believe that the comment otherwise merits an upvote. It's my way of striking back at the practice.

It's being downvoted because it's ignorant, a disgusting view point and doesn't contribute anything useful.
