There shouldn't be a lot of downvoting for merely stating your own preferences and what impression the article left for you personally. The thing that is sort of annoying and that I have the impression lately increases in frequency on HN, is, when people put wrappers around their comments, especially the kind of wrappers pre-addressing potential downvotes. It does not really add anything, except for "I think HN community will be bad.". Haters gonna hate anyway, I guess, so no need to add such wrappers.

I have experienced downvoting like that before, but usually it is about properly reading what the comment actually says and some do not do that. Some go ahead and start interpreting things into it. However, do you really think you wrapping the comment with that pre-addressing is going to help it? I doubt it.
