> With writing that, it occurred to me I have been pretty openly critical of Hacker News of late and I have probably hurt a lot of feelings and male egos
Male egos? Seems like a backhanded apology, so to speak.
A) It is not possible for me to downvote replies to me. The site does not offer that option. So, nope, I did not downvote you. (I wasn't even online. I didn't see this until just now.)
B) It isn't a backhanded apology. More like giving some balanced perspective on how I feel. I don't feel I owe any apologies for the things I have said. But I also don't want people here to think I have a super negative opinion of HN when I don't.
I made an HN thread for a blog post I wrote that I thought some folks here might wish to see and might not otherwise see. I don't post to HN every single thing I write on my personal blog, much less every single thing I do generally. I run multiple websites. Most of them have not been posted here.
