That's the horse of twenty-somethings, and their "older" cohort, who think being a jerk is funny. I've definitely done that way too much here at times, oops.

Still, it falls on the creators and maintainers of HN to do something about it.

I'd be interested to read any discussion in suport of down votes from the crew who run the site.
