HN is eager to downvote dissenting opinions. You got a vote up from me.

Edit: huh, this got downvoted too... First rule of fight club is we do not talk about fight club?

FWIW, there are multiple points in the guidelines your comment crosses.

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation... Assume good faith."

"Eschew flamebait."

"Please don't post shallow dismissals"

"Please don't comment about the voting on comments."

No, the issue is your comment doesn't add anything to the discussion. It's not any different from replying with "+1"

If you want to upvote someone, upvote them. If you want to reply, add something of value to the discussion.
