I find down votes are usually the posts I'm most proud of. Nothing crazy, just means I dared to have an opinion.

Also quite amusing what someone will take time out of their day to down vote sometimes.

I had something similar. My comment actually had a lot of upvotes, but dang rebuked me for being inflammatory. Really made me rethink whether I am writing something to share knowledge or just to anger someone.

do you think dang himself is without bias?

No. But I trust that dang will roll out self references to his old comments circling in an infinite recursion to explain what he means when he is scolding. Most mods online don't even do that. He might be wrong sometimes as all humans will be but you can ask him to clarify.

He has to regularly see multiple sides of the site. HN is pretty diverse depending on what you click and as such, I do think he is less biased in some ways we are and more biased in others as he work as a mod for hn.

Oh cm'on people are way too sensitive
