I hope you figure out that annoying people doesn't make you right. We can only dream of a world where it's difficult to be annoying, and requires putting in some effort to be right first.
> stealing from users
What a weird definition of stealing.
And it's as much an issue with your browser if hitting back doesn't return the text. There are extensions to improve that behavior.
But what I find really interesting is that you seem to think being mad about an issue is a reason to break a completely unrelated rule?
I didn't say to avoid jokes. Joking and being antagonistic are different things!
And I still don't think stealing is the right word for that kind of technical issue, especially when it's still half your browser's fault.
> which you didn’t manage to specify
Why would I need to specify something you brought up? "OH NOES comparing HN to Reddit violates "policy.""
> and being “mad…”
Is "aggressive griping about" better? People usually simplify that to "mad about".
> One of them has gone through and downvoted all my posts now
Almost every post you made inside that 24 hour downvote window deserves it, so depending on how literal that "all" is, they're probably helping and not a bad actor.
