Whoa, please don't cross into personal attack, and omit swipes from your comments here.
TeMPOraL didn't downvote you. He couldn't. No one can downvote replies to their own posts (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25969116 was probably downvoted because it broke these guidelines:
"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

I downvoted you because your comment didn't add substance by explaining what you meant. You made a statement that didn't seem to apply to article I read, which is fine in itself, but its brevity meant there was no way to evaluate what you meant, yet it seemed unnecessarily combative & overall unproductive to the conversation.
And by the way, if you are going to post things and then downvote legitimate responses—then perhaps you need to rethink things a bit?
