Why is it that every time a political link is posted on here, it gets up-modded like crazy, while at the same time collecting dozens of comments full of meta-discussion about what types of links should and should not be on HN? Seems to me that if you don't like a link, you should just not up-mod it, and certainly not waste your own time by commenting.

Say 100 people really liked it, and 1,000 people did not.

Well, you'd have an article that had 100 upmods and far more comments inside saying that the article sucked and should not have been upmodded.
