Who knows? There's people on here who will not like something you say in one thread, and downvote you on others. Hopefully not many. Perhaps my statement was viewed as off-topic?

I was downvoted rather aggressively in another thread for calling Trump "his orangeness" which my Trump voter friends and family chuckle at, but apparently is in bad decorum on HN. In their defense, they are just desperately trying to keep it all from devolving into Reddit territory.
