Thanks for this reply, I'm interested in the 'down-voting' you are describing, do think that type of HN member behavior is related or not related to the 'defensiveness' and 'techno-utopian ideals' you feel characterizes the HN community? For you, does 'increasingly political and divisive' signal whether an online community, in this case HN, is 'particularly healthy'?
