This makes me think twice about upvoting dying comments that I think are constructive but just happen to go against popular consensus.
I have a lot of karma and an account over a decade old. So I probably have nothing to worry about. But is agreeing with comments killed by down vote really a red flag?
Your account's fine and the posts you've been upvoting (I took a quick look) seem fine. What we're really trying to avoid is garden-variety flamewar.

On the contrary, that's a good contribution and we hope everyone will do it when good comments (that don't break the site guideline) have been unfairly downvoted.
Sorry - I'm a compulsive self-editor and I have to see the post in 'reality' before I can tell what's wrong with it. I have the delay setting in my profile set to 1 minute but more is not practical.

I have the exact same thing. I check a comment three times, it looks fine. Hit 'reply', the page refreshes and I spot a whole raft of things that are wrong with it. Very frustrating. Maybe a 'preview' button would help?
The 'delay' setting is there for this (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html) - not sure if that suits you or not. Everyone seems to have a slightly different way of working.
