So, a closed-source, non-audited polling app with grand security claims? What could go wrong?

This comment breaks more than one of the Show HN guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) and also the global HN guidelines, which include: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Would you please be more mindful of how you address other people's work, and not just apply the usual internet snark rules of being a maximal jerk about everything? I don't mean to pick on you personally; it's a common phenomenon, of course. But when the first response, indeed the only real response, to someone's Show HN is a nasty putdown, poisonous fumes fill the thread. Not to mention it's a sucker punch to the person who did all that work and went to the trouble to share it.

You're right; thanks for the fair call-out. I apologize, especially to the developers of VOTEism!
