I'm sort of amazed that "B" has only 12 points at this moment. I am downvoted all the time based on B. Otherwise, I'd love someone to go through my comments and find how many that fall under A or G (as I'd very much want to learn to never fall under either of these categories). Unless you think, "zzzeek posted facts that are incorrect (sure), misunderstood the person he was responding to (arguable IMHO but i often make this impression), told person-I-like they are wrong (lots), used a little too heavy on the sarcasm (I think I've improved a lot in this regard but I continue to work on this) therefore the comment is MEAN! -> downvote".
- DanBC 12y agoYou have an average comment score of 5.x, which is high. I had to go back 80 days to get to a visibly downvoted comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7733672 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7733672 Which comments are downvoted for disagreement?
- zzzeek 12y agowell haven't posted a lot lately. My clearly annoyed comment a couple of days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8135515 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8135515 started out underwater a bit, flowed up to 7 and then back down to 5, which means someone's clicking downmod. I think these downmods are fine because I wasn't entirely careful in writing that post (whiskey will do that). I tend to think of downmods just like the catcalls you hear in the House of Commons from the opposition party. It's chaotic and rude sure but that's just human nature.
