a long while back, i set a global CSS rule to make all of the comments on HN the same black text color (rather than downvoted ones being greyed out). i like it so much more that way, because it treats everything as the same, and as a result, i haven't really noticed any sort of 'suppression' of thoughts; im oblivious to any downvoting that might be going on. the css rule is simply: span, span a {color:black!important}

I just wish HN would stop showing the main post in light gray. I have no idea why they do this; it makes it look like the main post is down-voted.
