I didn&#x27;t pick up on your sarcasm at all! So lol!<p>Although, if by explaining to the original downvoted poster why he was being downvoted, perhaps the poster will post more constructive comments in the future.<p>Maybe the opposite happened, and I merely contributed to an off-comment thread and dragging the OP and the HN community in general down with me.<p>I don&#x27;t have the metrics, so no one can tell for sure, which means I&#x27;ll defend with viscous hostility the belief that I am right.<p>Hurray internet!
