Are we really downvoting xkcd? I don't see anything wrong with a little bit of humour on HN.

That comic is a trope at this point. Any discussion of standards includes it.

The comment didn't add anything. If it was a more substantive comment and mentioned the comic you'd have a point.

But the comment might as well be a copy and paste job. It's not really adding to the discussion.

I mean just from the discussion and the letters XKCD I knew which comic it was.

Fair enough, I'd have to agree.

Didn't vote, but if I could vote for "stay at 1 point" I'd do.

I mean, that comment isn't too bad but sometimes I (we?) get a sneaking suspicion that some of these (I didn't check the commenters comment history so I cannot say in this case) are attempts at "karma farming", which is annoying.
