You understand that not everyone can blur between words the way you do, right? It's not something they teach people; I'm out of practice.

So yes, everyone here is focused on money and not beauty and definitely not poetry. This is a cesspit. It is one of the worst online communities there is, and I wouldn't be here at all if I weren't stuck in the web tech sector for at least a little longer.

But you're going to have to accept that if you want to share output here, you're doing so in a hostile environment, not because people don't care, or aren't interested, or aren't loving, but because what they can't understand they're going to downvote. Even if they strip downvotes from the audit log, other comments that say more mundane things will get upvoted more than yours.

Just like I accept that my downvoted comments were mostly a bland stand for anti-authoritarianism no one really wants to hear.

Major Edit 5am EST.: Moderators just cut and deleted entire threads and removed a huge amount of posts from everybody again, each user logs gone too (http://web.archive.org/*/https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i... https://archive.today/https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9... http://www.webcitation.org/query?id=1428133249694151). If they tracked words like money it would break the book.
