| Feb 27, 2017 at 19:50 | comment | added | Amazon Dies In Darkness | If someone has a negative up-vote/down-vote ratio, I suspect they are a very negative and punitive person who feels like they have little power in their lives, and comes here to try to experience an artificially inflated feeling of power. That's my psychoanalysis of the phenomena. | |

@Braiam, more to the point: if you are going to reference something that essentially has moral and philosophical overtones and apply it to something as relatively innocuous as the Super User voting system, simply posting a hyperlink with a rather curt Recommended read doesn't do it justice.

| Feb 27, 2017 at 13:50 | comment | added | Run5k | @Braiam, while I always appreciate the community's feedback, I think that the standard Super User rules-of-the-road would still apply in this scenario: can you please summarize what you believe to be the pertinent points within that hyperlinked article and how they pertain to the current discussion, rather than just direct us to another web page that could disappear at some point in the future? Thanks for your help. | |
