Didn't say you were white or call you out specifically either but thanks for proving my point.

You might like to think you're not part of aninternet mob right now but the downvotes on my post say otherwise.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?

Also, if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and follow the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it. (The last sentence of your comment breaks them.)

Or perhaps it's HN working as always and people disagreeing?

A heavily downvoted post is not exactly a "mob" (any more than a heavily upvoted one would be).

People threatening or calling you names, or demanding your job, etc, would be a mob.

I also get lots of downvotes when my opinion is not popular (which is easy, I'm not very fond of what I consider the fads of the era, or mainstream opinions on most things). But I wouldn't call it a "mob" in ordinary HN cases.
