You really can't take downvotes on Hacker News so seriously. Heck, sometimes a downvote is just someone trying to scroll on their touchscreen and accidentally triggering the oversized hitbox for the downvote button (touchscreen browsers sometimes seem to expand the touchable area that will activate a link beyond the physical pixels occupied by that link).

As for your opinion, consider the possibility that you're overreacting to a few overreactions by emphasizing those comments that went too far and ignoring the ones that showed moderation.
