Your comment was accurate, but somewhat combative, which may be why it was down-voted. I suspect if you had said the same thing, but had phrased it a little differently, it would have been up-voted.

That said, it was not an unreasonable question to ask, and so I've up-voted you.

What doesn't help is calling everyone "mindless fucking morons" after only one or two down-votes. It's not constructive, and won't get you anywhere. Also: chill. Just because one or two individuals didn't like the tone of your original comment, doesn't mean everyone on HN is out to get you. Well, at least not before you insulted them.
