>UPDATE 2: Wow, I've never had a post that goes up and down in votes like this one.

Please don't do this. A good rule of thumb is that, if it will annoy people on reddit, it's probably not appropriate for HN.



This kind of thing annoys me too but when I have a post that gets downvoted without being responded to it can help spur a response. Maybe there ought to be a better mechanism to solicit a response from your downvoters.


You should be able to see who downvotes you and have the option to individually block them from seeing any of your comments in the future.


I fail to see how that would get your down voters to respond to you.


Require a reply for downvotes. Done.
