Couldn't have said it any better. Just look at how your post was downvoted for simply pointing this sensitive fact out. The action speaks so loud and clear. In every social construct and gathering you always find that group of "socially immechanical" people who, with every means possible, try to assert some kind of status or rank over others. In the case of HN, it's done by downvoting posts of users holding a different opinion than your own.
