my god, the number of insane downvoters on hn. they even downvote you for an innocuous comment like mine above. I can only guess that they are losers or haters or retards or are hurting heavily for some reason, so they feel the need to strike out blindly, to get some kind of pathetic relief from whatever it is that they are hurting from. it could be job loss, or lack of money, no SO, etc. See Maslow.
I think you're way out of line. It's you who appears deranged over some downvotes.
Why are you reaching so far into the "why" and assigning those users very strange and hurtful characteristics? "Insane", "retards", "haters", "no money and no love in their life". Are you sure the reasons can't be simpler? What do the HN guidelines say on the topic?
PS: I don't have the ability to downvote anything in case you think I'm your mortal enemy / hater / retard.
it's just that it seems to me that is senseless of these people to downvote comments for what seems like no good reason at all. and like I said somewhere else here recently, why can't they make a reply comment, saying what they think is wrong with my comment, if they disagree - as you just did. I can't tell, by a downvote, whether they just disapprove, or actually disagree. and if they disagree, it would be helpful if they said why. downvoting seems like the lazy option in the case of disagreement.
but yes, you really cannot change people. either they have some good reason for doing it, which I don't understand, or they just are that way.
anyway I am getting tired of doing it, so maybe I'll take your advice and just ignore it from now on.
