I didn't vote either way on your comment, but I suspect it's because it's a bit silly to essentially move the edit wars into comment threads here. I'm guessing that wasn't your intent, but I see how it could come off that way.

(Also, please don't complain/ask about downvotes. HN guidelines prohibit it, and for good reason: complaining or asking about downvotes can only at best result in non-interesting meta discussion, and at worst can cause tension and mini flame wars.)

(I agree with you on Aeris, though.)
