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.

> is agreeing with comments killed by down vote really a red flag?

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.

p.s. It's always the good users who worry about these things!

Okay, I replied before you edited your comment to add the bit about what constitutes a "bad" comment. I definitely don't upvote those comments. :)

Thanks, dang.

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.
