The downvoting on Hacker News sometimes seems wholly random. I am curious who would down vote this above comment of mine. I'm looking at each sentence and trying to think what people are disagreeing with.
For instance:
"That is why there should be a warning about untrusted code."
What is the counter-argument, that WordPress should do nothing about the fact that the templates allow the execution of arbitrary code?
"It doesn't matter if WordPress is written in PHP or COBOL, the team developing the software should make some attempt to address its many security flaws."
What is the counter-argument, that WordPress has no responsibility for the security flaws in WordPress?
The downvoting is probably due to your tone, I read your comments and agreed with you but god why do you write like that - why do you keep quoting people with "You write" style opening lines? it sets the tones of your comments off in the most horrible light.

Very curious.
