This place sure has turned into a haven for down-voting jerk-offs. Not like I care about my stupid points or whatever, but voting down non-inflammatory and non-useless comments without commenting yourself is poor form. If you want the comment sections on HN to be totally worthless a la several other sites I can think of, keep up the good work.
Yeah, they are. They way that happens shows that the core of this community is head and shoulders above the rest of the internet in maturity. I should stop complaining, I'm probably just not in a good mood.
