| > and nobody takes a second to say "hey buddy, just in case this wasn't clear to you, here's a helpful tip". "hey" should be capitalized, it's at the beginning of a complete sentence. Also, a comma should be before the quotation. > No down vote, perhaps an up-vote down-vote and up-vote should at least be hyphenated consistently. > One of the things that continues to disturb me the most about HN is how thin skinned the community seems to be. It is impossible to consistently offer a contrasting point of view here without down-vote attacks that make your point of view virtually disappear. Mind you, this particular post isn't that. It just reminds me that HN is really weird. Likewise, down-vote should be hyphenated consistently with the previous use. > I get down voted a lot despite the fact that I am a successful entrepreneur since age 15 who has built several companies and continues to do so. My perspective, however, seems seldom welcome here (based on how often I am down-voted) because I don't tow the line of the 20-somethings that are the bulk of this audience. Instead of learning they choose to pound what they don't like out of existence. Weird. I don't get what kind of prank you're trying to pull here. Is it "down voted" or "down-voted"??? Just being helpful!! |
The difference, in case you did not understand that. Is that my earlier comment was purely constructive in nature.
Your comment was a juvenile "I'll show him. I'll rip his writing apart and put him to shame".
One is an adult constructive post. The other is what I would not allow from my eight year old kid.
