In your opinion. I think it was right on target. Complaining about downvotes is in the guidelines as something to be avoided, and predicting their onset is a slightly differently colored shade of the same thing. It manipulates peoples' reactions to your comment, and you are not at all oblivious to that.
I'm actually glad he told you why, even though it cost him karma. I wish every downvote came with a reason.

I laughed out loud at this. It's the downvote button, not a loaded gun.
I'll summarize.
The CEO of justin.tv, who you've met personally (as if that's important to the issue at hand), downvoted you and you've gone after his personal image as a result. Now you're citing his responsibility "as a YC partner" to act fairly. Can we circle back toward you just not liking being downvoted eventually?
Your comment was so devoid of insight that the downvote jab at the end just became icing on the cake, and I agree with it being called out. People upvoted the article. It's a dumb article. Commenting on the people upvoting the dumb article and characterizing them as mindless IFTTT fans is just noise, and this entire thread which has now launched off from your noise is even more noise.
