The man behind FAKEGRIMLOCK

Can someone explain the downvoting of FAKEGRIMLOCK's comments? I find them insightful, substantive, and hilarious, but is some HN norm being stepped on?

I didn't downvote, but novelty accounts are not exactly a part of the local culture. I doubt there's any insightful or substantial point that can only be made by writing in caps with bad grammar.

Yes, it might make you think that it's a dry and humorless environment. But at least it's not overrun by 20 copies of CaptainObvious or JokeExplainer.

This is very puzzling. Also - why isn't this front page yet?

It was frontpage and trending up. It must be getting flagged quite a bit. Very curious.

And now that you pointed it out, the trend has reversed... what in the world is going on here?

EDIT - I'd also like to point out that the headline changed. Is that a typical practice on HN? I don't think my original headline was anything inflammatory or off-point.
