Sorry, I should have added that Musk bit as an addendum to my first comment - and it's a reflection from previous experience, not from any activity on the comment I made on this thread.

I could care less about my 'HN karma' -> it's meaningless to me. I made the comment purely in jest.

"Purely in jest" is probably not the right phrasing if it is based on long experience, thus a sincere prediction of the likely outcome.

I get what you are going for, but, my experiences suggest that if you want to take a position that opposes that of the majority view of the group in question, this sort of commentary is extremely counterproductive.

Not that you need to care. I am just someone who likes talking with people and you made the mistake of talking to me, so I am now talking to you. (shrugs)
