Such a warm welcome. If you're so convinced the parent comment was a fabrication for attention and approval, why not just say so without the derisive tone and personal attack?

Edit: though it may have been an accidental misclick, I would appreciate an explanation from the user who downvoted my comment if it was not an accident. I consider googles99's comment to be unnecessarily harsh to a new HN user, and want to know why discouraging such incivility is worthy of a downvote, if indeed it was not accidental.

Grow a pair, it's the internet (not much of the fake PC here [which is really just honesty suppression] that you see in society today). I don't like people trying to plant false ideologies in sheeple's brains based on fiction. It actually works (just look at America over the last 20 years). So I deal with it rather harshly when I see it.

It's not the Internet, it's Hacker News, which has rules and guidelines to promote civility and maximize signal to noise. So what false ideology is being planted, and to what end?

tl; dr: "Grow a pair [...] honesty suppression [...] sheeple"
