How badly do most/all YCNews-ers suffer from confirmation bias?

This has to be the most elaborate gripe I've ever heard from someone whose stuff got ignored on a social news site. I don't remember any of your other submissions, but if they had as low a signal to noise ratio as this one, I can see why they might not have got many votes.

Basically this post = "Everyone here is so deluded that they ignore me!" and not even in your own words.

I'm just positing a hypothesis. Why so gratuitously ad hominem? At least gather some data first...

(But thanks for the interesting data point :-)

It's rather disingenuous to say "you all suffer from confirmation bias because you ignore my posts" and then claim ad hominem attacks when people point out that your posts are not that interesting. _You_ are the one who started the conversation focusing on you and your posts.
