Don't be so oversensitive about the votes your comments get. The best thing you can do on HN is to post and leave for an hour. By then some interesting discussion might have popped up. Don't be bothered by the random downvoters. They are more afraid of you than you are of them.
- 616c 13y agoIt's not my first time here. I am well aware hot it works. When I comment I usually prod someone to give me a contrary opinion, and I learn something new from someone for more knowledgeable from me. That is why I keep coming back to HN. But I could have been more direct this time around, mea culpa.
- vinceguidry 13y agoI imagine a lot of downvotes happen by accident. Whenever I get one, inevitably someone will upvote it just to get it out of the grey. It's an upvote I probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise, as it usually just stays at 1 point. My conclusion: don't sweat them.
