Well, I am sorry if you misunderstood what I am talking about... maybe because I did not tell the whole story.

I lost more than 7 points of karma in 20 minutes! All of that because I commented on that story: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=516027 And I was telling users NOT to flag that story, because those people are in trouble, and we should help them. So everyone down-voted that comment, and when I deleted it, it looks like they wanted to continue down-voting my other comments!

Take a look at: http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html "Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

It's just one of those things. Btw - afaik - there is code to prevent users "carpet downmodding" another user.

Get to work dude, and grow up. :)

Seems to me like you're participating in some sort of irrelevant drama about nothing that will benefit your life in any way what-so-ever.
