You guys really hated that I found the discussion interesting?


It seemed like a content-free comment. I was no better informed after reading it than before, and it was of no artistic or cultural value. It did not induce me to question any of my assumptions or investigate anything. It expressed your experience, but your experience was not unusual or surprising in any way, except perhaps that you did not know that "Uncle" Bob Martin was an incompetent charlatan. Possibly those were among the reasons people downvoted it.


Fair points! Thank you.


Downvotes are a legitimate expression of disagreement, not hate.


"Hate" was too strong of a word to use.


FWIW, me too comments are usually downvoted.


Makes sense now, they don't add much, or anything. We already have the upvote button for this.
