First off: deleted_account is not my username, you were not responding to my comment. Second: The sentence "I am." technically has correct grammar, but doesn't serve the benefit of anybody reading HN. As does this recently similar comment with many downvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7104994 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7104994 You should have just hit the downvote or flag button if you thought that OPs comment was truly cynical. How exactly was deleted_account being cynical anyways by asking the question "Can we officially declare that crypto-currencies have jumped the shark?"? I do not think you understand the meaning of the word "cynicism" or what it is "to be cynical".

  One cannot hit the downvote button on replies made to one's own comments.

    True, good point. Still, I'm not sure it's a net benefit to kick off a sizable subtree debating the merits of a two-word comment. It might be considered an investment in future comment quality, but downvoting all the meme comments that we are able to is probably as effective. Personally, as long as it's restricted to articles about dogecoin I don't find it annoying, though I wouldn't want it to spread. Clearly your mileage varies.
