"We" as the HN users, expect at least some level of civility when conversing here. It's right up there in the guidelines:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Try to argue without being personal.

Tell me then does this kind of comment fits those guidelines or welcome here?

Is it kind? Is it curious? Thoughtful? Substantive?

In fact it contradicts guidelines, as they encourage downvoting without explanation in order to not clutter the thread. They were trying to explain to you, whereas most readers will sinply downvote. Yes, I think they meant that as a kindness.
