HN is a fickle beast, one I've quit several times for being down voted to oblivion for a humours but on topic, relevant and quite poignant comment. And the very next story on the topic had almost the exact same joke as top comment by a well known handle. I've seen vulgarity posted in the top comment, but been down voted for using the word bullshit when referring to something that was complete and utter nonsense. Don't kid yourself, just because the topics are intellectual, doesn't mean all those with voting rights are.
Misha, is that really you? Come away with me to redder pastures, this place is no good for you. We can use their downvotes as cover to hide our communications. (See my profile! No matter what happens remember that I love you, and tell the others!)
