On other sites people get viciously dogpiled, do people somehow get to the point in life where getting downvoted on Hacker News is the first time that people failed to affirm them?
For the most part the things I write that get downvoted are on the bottom of what I post though there was the time I wrote something that got downvoted, really really bad like -10, got really angry and wrote a detailed and revealing explanation of why exactly I said that and the downvoted post got something like +500 votes at the end of the day.
