He's like the drunk neighbor who tries to break into your home, thinking he's locked himself out of his.

Dude probably thinks he's scoring comment karma at Reddit with that gem.

I'm curious to know just how the original comment didn't reek of Reddit's culture of vacuous pithiness.

Down-votes without discussion strike me as being against the generally productive atmosphere this place usually has.

I imagine it was because your comment added no more to the discussion than his did. When the standard response to bad comments becomes posting more bad comments, any community with a productive athmosphere quickly goes down the drain.

That's fair.

I'll do better.
