Such a warm welcome. If you're so convinced the parent comment was a fabrication for attention and approval, why not just say so without the derisive tone and personal attack?

Edit: though it may have been an accidental misclick, I would appreciate an explanation from the user who downvoted my comment if it was not an accident. I consider googles99's comment to be unnecessarily harsh to a new HN user, and want to know why discouraging such incivility is worthy of a downvote, if indeed it was not accidental.
