This is a real shame. Hacker News is one of my favorite sites. I respect anyone's right to dock my comment.
But to dock a comment where I am interested in feedback is a real shame. It goes against the culture here.
- bdr 17y agoI didn't downvote you, but your comment doesn't have much content. What makes you think they are going to run it like a startup? Why is that not a good sign?
- larryfreeman 17y agoThanks very much for that feedback. I added additional details below my comment.
- kqr2 17y agoI didn't downmod you either, but I think that in general people don't like comments about mod points. Although you weren't complaining, from the guidelines: Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

- dhimes 17y agoHi Larry, Very recently the tone has changed at HN. But that's ok. HN is great because occasionally we go through phases like this (sometimes too political, sometimes humorless, sometimes holier-than-thou, and so on) but it always bounces back. Hang in there. <puts on karma crash helmet>
