That's a wrong way of looking at the situation.
Edit: why would anyone downvote this? Other than the owner of the useless comment anyway... For the record, comments on HN should have substance, it's in the guidelines when you signed up.
It's my policy to downvote any comment that complains about downvoting. However, it would be better in this case to not even respond to GP's inane scribbling. Trust the downvoters to get around to it eventually.
