I don't see what the ire or the attitude has to do with being downvoted. That poster's comments and attitude is pretty typical for meditators along a certain stage of practice (in the insight cycles). Everyone will pass through that point eventually. Correction of this isn't something that needs to come from social pressure; it comes from continued practice on mindfulness. I commend this person for practicing and encourage him or her to keep going!

>I don't see what the ire or the attitude has to do with being downvoted. Not sure what you mean. Comments which have these properties or are otherwise not constructive to discussion are to be downvoted on HN. To an extent good points can outweigh inflammatory language (although taking out that language is always preferable). But having a modicum of content is not sufficient to justify something that destroys the level of the discussion.
