Please don't do that, even if you feel you have "karma to burn." You're decreasing the signal to noise ratio, which is the point of the moderating system here. HN is a nice place to have discussions because people tend to avoid such comments.

Your comment has added to the signal to noise ratio, as now has my response! "Please don't do that".
Lighten-up a little bit, step outside and get some fresh air, life isn't as serious as you make it, you're missing out.
By the way, I do think Apple is better than Microsoft and I have as much right to voice that opinion here as anyone else has, it doesn't devalue anything; I simply added about karma burn because you know if you say A is better than B, especially in the context of Apple and Microsoft, you're going to get down voted--that doesn't take away from me having the right to say it though if I believe it to be true.

The problem with saying "Apple > Microsoft" isn't that you're expressing an opinion. The problem is that you're not adding to the conversation. Lightening-up has nothing to do with it. Conversations here are pleasant because we try to avoid comments devoid of content.
You're new here, so I figured I should explain how our community works. I feel that is worth some noise.
