Weird. My comment must have been in close enough proximity to andybak's comment that "they" must have downvoted me when they meant to downvote him.

- fifthesteight 12y agoNo, marco, you're just being "corrected." Iron sharpens iron, duh.
- marcos123 12y agoAlthough I'm not certain what you're implying by "corrected", I hadn't ever heard that phrase about iron before. Thanks, I like it.
- fifthesteight 12y agoYou and I had similar difficulty yesterday vis-a-vis arbitrary downvoting. I was referring to a comment made at me regarding how HN comments are for correcting people who are wrong, and accompanying that is downvotes. Except for when "correction" has nothing to do with the downvote, or none is offered. It doesn't matter. The conversation at HN is toxic. I've bitched enough. I was just reaching out for commiseration.
