You're doing that thing people do one the internet, when they see a disagreement that doesn't exist.

The poster wasn't contradicting asa at all, he was (a) laughing at asa's joke, and (b) trying to make his own.

Downvote him if you like for not contributing to the discussion, but your particular comment seemed completely unrelated to the content of his post.

And the downvote dance continues :) Not that I give a shit though, HN has continuously been going down the toilet for the last few years now.

Now it's mostly fanboyism, self-congratulation, oh and gratuitious downvotes without even reading or understanding people's posts.

Also, yeah, know even if Asa's was a half-joke, arpitnext's post was not a joke. Well, back to doing useful stuff now.

I upvoted you. Not because I think what you said is insightful, but because your post serves as a textbook example of a person who not only doesn't see how stupid and trollish his own post is, but also dismisses all forms of legit criticism as fanboyism.

Oh and don't forget he's ranting about how this site is going down hill while contributing nothing and pretty much making this piece of the thread unpleasant.

Yeah you're right, don't go to my comment history to judge whether I'm actually making useful contributions to HN.

I mean, surely 2-3 poorly written comments are enough to judge a few years of contributions. Bah.
