Yeah, in the future don't delete your comment unless you've been convinced that you really were being a troll or asshole. Stimulating discussion is what makes this site great and don't let the wannabe hackers that don't know how to have such a discussion deter you from posting. Hacker News is a funny place and you'll find contrarian points of view tend to be "jumped on" unless you use difficult to refute language that pulls your disagreeing commenters or downvoters into a logical argument. The other guy that commented on yours is a good example of language that's less "enticing" for trolls and still provides an interesting counterpoint to the original article.
