It's more than a personal preference; vecter is representing something about the culture of the site.

It isn't just about community preference, either. HN is a democracy, but a constitutional one. The constitution is https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Speaking of which, please review what the constitution says about not calling names in arguments!

I'm sorry, I just downvoted your comment but I meant to upvote.

If it helps, the data says you did neither :)

And please keep to the guidelines[0], the insults 'stupid' and 'immature' are not necessary to convey the idea that you find that behaviour abhorrent.

I posted this as a "Tell HN". A moderator must have changed it to "Ask HN".

Someone suggested that it might sound more courteous as "Ask", so we changed it. I doubt that verb choice was at the root of the objection there, but we can change it back.

No I think it's fine as is, thank you though :)
