Lol, you have one hell of an attitude problem. downmods all posts by rokhayakebe

go ahead. be my guest. if this makes you any happier. i could give you a good 200 and still be ahead of you. frankly i can care the less i am not running a popularity contest, i think that is what makes the difference between YC and other communities. you can downmod all day, i can really care the less. what do you think will happen if i ask 10 people to go and downmod you all day. i outsource by trade, so believe it…

Stop filling up the comment threads with this crap.

You go do some friggin' work you procrastinator!

i totally agree. unfortunately this is how i earn part of my income. reading all sort of tech news, gathering the info, and use it to help clients get on the boat.

You just Lost 22 Karma for not taking a suggestion. Constructive criticism is not a bad thing.

What crap? Defending my position is nothing crappy at all. Some users being offending by punctuation is crappy. Like we are in a beauty pageant.This user is talking about downmoding all my previous posts that have nothing to do with this one. What is crappier then that? Disappointing.

Read less, do more

what if reading is doing? reading is (can be)very productive. Take an analyst who reads a tone of data and makes decision for a company. Reading in this case is very much like doing, because without it he could not make any decision. Of course you could argue, he can simply use a decision making software, but what does the software do? READ data and make decision based on what it READ.

Let's face it. Most of the "reading" people do online is in the form of "omg pictures of lolcats". There is no analysis going on here, it's just time killing.

thanks for http://filtercurve.com/aggregator/news . i got enough to go for another hour.

Your color selection was painful to my eyes. I use firefox. But somehow you pallete of blue on black was really annoying. I am sorry but my reaction is so strong, I cannot imagine why you would do that.

Believe it or not it looks just how I like. But I plan to make the theme selectable on the site at some point and I could make the default theme more conservative. I use firefox too. I'm a programmer and look at screens late in to the night and bright sites are painful to my eyes after about 10pm. I love to read the feeds on a dark subdued screen rather than on a site crowded with distractions and colors. Sorry to annoy you, maybe it's like a song that annoys you the first time you hear it and then later you can't get enough it is so refreshing and different. :)

if some1 is offended by "u" than they r clearly complicatd and taking life a bit too seriously. and besides isn't this web 2.0 where we have flickR and Youniversity I think those are more morphed than my "u"

Yeah, it's definitely an elitist thing.

HN is an elitist community, and it's that way for good reason, IMO.

This is more about how people present themselves. If you use proper punctuation, capitalization, good grammar and make clear sentences, you will appear to be civilized. Civilized people respect other civilized people, so if you appear to be civilized, people are more likely to listen to what you say. Comments on YouTube are a great example of people making themselves look.. extremely uncivilized.

r u kidding me?

"ur kiddin rite?" would have been better :)
