Putting the dumbheads who upvote to express agreement aside leaves us with the real reason to upvote: you want to highlight worth-to-read stuff.

I've read your text and frankly it didn't give me much. I thought the Heidegger == 'The existentialist datapoint interesting for my internal map of everything.

What I meant was "why would you downvote my comment?" Is not giving you much a good reason for downvoting? Seems ok if it is, but I only would downvote things that are stupid or obnoxious, and I don't think my comment was either....

Ups, sorry. Huhm, well, maybe they "disagree"? I don't know. My guess is they don't get the conncetion between Zeldman's blogpost and your comment here. You posted something unrelated, they think. Or maybe you are just an asshole who comes over here mentioning a writer and his philosophy, go away with that book-crap.
