"None of this is meant to be negative about patio11."
I always find it unfortunate that it is necessary to walk on eggshells around a person in any online community for fear of some kind of retribution by other members. It doesn't really serve any learning purpose for people to hold back on comments that might be helpful just because a particular member happens to be well liked.

It's the politics of HN. If you say anything bad about Patrick (no matter how true or constructive) or say anything against the status quo (example: legalizing MJ), you will be down voted.
