> This part was strangely fitting considering your original complaint

I don't think I made any complaint, did I?

This forum is becoming more inexplicably unusual every day - provide objectively quality responses to a specific request, and get downvoted, with a side order of insult to boot.

Sorry, my fault. I mixed up usernames. It was a different person who was criticizing experts and then you came in to back up their point with examples of good amateur work, but you made no direct complaint.

So what if you did? What if I had made a criticism of experts, do you then downvote every other comment I make, regardless of its quality?

I would very much like to hear your justification.

EDIT: It might be a good idea for you to subscribe to the two blogs I mentioned above. It sounds like criticism of experts is something you haven't had a lot of exposure to.

I don't know what to tell you because I didn't downvote any comments in this thread. You can see comments by other people here were downvoted too, including a direct response to me and HN prevents you from downvoting direct responses. All I did was post a comment from the blog you linked that was directly relevant to the criticism in the first comment to which I was replying. I mistakenly assumed that original comment and the linked site were both from the same person and I already apologized for that mistake.

My apologies, I thought your apology occuring in close proximity to an upvote was suggestive that it had been you changing your mind. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Thanks. It is rare to have an anonymous internet interaction in which we can both admit where we were wrong.
