Where did I say I was boycotting anything? I was merely explaining why I think Monsanto and the Koch brothers are worse than Facebook.

My mistake, sorry. Tech has an unjustifiably positive view of its own long-term environmental impact, so, hotbutton.

All good, apologies for the rude tone. I feel like I've had increasing issues with people misinterpreting or misreading my comments on here lately. I took that out on you unnecessarily. Cheers.

edit: really, i'm getting downvoted by someone for civility?

Explicit displays of civility always get upvoted over the long term, but anything anybody writes will get downvoted at some point. Best not to think about it.

My guess is that someone on a phone accidentally down-voted you when they wanted to up-vote. Those little arrows are... well... little!

you're probably getting downvoted (not by me) for implying that anybody on HN might misinterpret or misread your comment. because obviously IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR WRITING THE KIND OF COMMENT THAT COULD BE MISINTERPRETED YOU LOSER!!!!!!!!!
