It's dangerous to make assumptions about why a comment was downvoted. Such assumptions can lead to a growing gulf of misunderstanding and resentment, even to seeing enemies where there are none.
sure, blaming things willy nilly when you have little substantiative proof can clearly produce some highly antagonistic and overly entrenched thinkers. I C what you did there.
Oh now wait a sec there. I'm not sure you and I are on the same wavelength here.
Just to contextualize this. I just got done watching the pilot episodes of bee and puppycat [1], I was feeling very very mellow at the time of writing. It's hard to believe that people perceived any aggressive posturing or tone there.
I'm always interested in improving my communication skills, and it seems my writing style has included a posture that I did not mean to convey! Can you tell me what contributed to the tone you detected? I simply am not able to detect it, and that may simply be because it's hard to critique you're own writing.
No kidding. I really thought Hacker News was better than this, but a large number of the replies here are little more than parroted MRA talking points and other myopic comments.
