Can somebody please explain. Why is the parent comment short story inappropriate, as a top level comment on this page?

Also it seems to trigger a reaction. I have seen it go upto +6 points and now it is at 0. Means people either like it or hate it. I don't get it, whats in that that people have to react strongly to it.

I would really like to understand.

Since you asked honestly, I'll answer honestly: it's hackneyed and poorly written and I don't think the dream's personal significance translates to a general audience.

Thanks! Respect you for using your routine account and giving a reason.

I personally rarely use down-votes, and would just ignore a comment, if I sense that its written in an earnest way, even though bad in quality. I agree its not very high quality writing. But I believe, that it does hit its mark with many people. Many more people upvoted it, than those that down voted it.

People find their own dreams very interesting. Most people find most other people's dreams very uninteresting.

You say it's a "near true account of my dream". Well I could give you a near true account of the shit I had this morning, but you wouldn't be interested.

Plus the extreme offence you seem to be taking to people saying they're not interested in what you're saying is making me dislike you even more. You come across as one of those people who thinks they're really profound, but they're not.

Finally what is "uthiye", and what grown person calls their mother "mummy"?

'Uthiye' means 'get up' in hindi.

>what grown person calls their mother "mummy"?

I do. You display your prejudice by asking the question in such a way. Also your total ignorance about other cultures.

>You say it's a "near true account of my dream". Well I could give you a near true account of the shit I had this morning, but you wouldn't be interested.

You also can, if what you share is in context of the discussion. If you care to note, I wrote this piece more than an year back. And seeing the topic here, thought it may be relevant. And it sure is, as more number of people seem to like it. Then those that don't.

Even if you don't like it. Can't you just ignore it. I would expect trolling or something off topic or irrelevant to be typically down-voted.

In any case, thanks, for replying. Even though, it took a throw away account for you to explain it, and then attack me back again, by commenting on the way, I address my mother.
