You mean flagged.
Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
Ah, so you just went through my history and downvoted everything in sight! Thanks for confirming.
I don't follow? I didn't flag you; you were remarking on a previous comment alleging shillage from 'antirez, and I'm pointing out that the behavior you say is "downvoted" is actually a black-letter guideline violation. People flag those posts.
Another one, though:
Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
I can't help you if you repeatedly misinterpret me. Once you made the first response in this subthread, 4 or 5 of my comments went from 1 to 0 or -1. Cum hoc ergo propter hoc? Maybe.
I'll design a system for the senate that enables outside voters to first turn down the microphone's volume of a speaker if he says that another senator works for company X and then removes him from the floor. That'll be a great success for democracy and "intellectual curiosity", which is also in the guidelines.
