Hacker News Reader

No, downmoded for snide tone and no value. That's pretty frequent here.

I'd argue that it's pretty infrequent here, thankfully. Read a Reddit or Digg comment thread recently?

Referring to the downmoding, or the comment type? I was referring to the downmoding of snide / valueless, not the frequency of comments that fit those criteria.

Bad comments are refreshingly rare, in my experience. It's part of why I really like YC.

Would you please not do that?

Ok, sorry. No more complaints about moderation.

The sad thing is that this is supposed to be Hacker news, not Apple fan-boy news.

Some can't admit Apple's drawbacks, some can't admit their strengths. Let's just call them all close-minded instead of "fanboys", then we don't have to come up with a 2nd lame insult only meant to dismiss someone without having to actually think about what they are saying.
