This is a fallacy and needs a name.
I always read it so it is not a fallacy, just so I dont argue.
My change: "where are the people who are against X now that the proponents of X are posting"
However it only makes sense in places like HN that have a "tone".
I think arguments in general get downvoted, or at least not upvoted, so perhaps people (other than me) are less likely to give a different opinion than the current thread.
