That is ridiculous strawman argument. How would such stories end up in a prominent position on HN unless enough people from the community likes it. In any case that was not what my comment was about. I was, and still am, more than surprised by the poster's puerile lament that someone is getting a few odd karma that the poster thought was undeserved. I assumed that this place is somewhat removed from such "Mama ! he took my toy" behavior.
