What is the justification of this post being pretty severely downvoted? It's not intemperate or off-topic as far as I can tell.

Go ahead and downvote me too for metacommenting but it seems like slaps being handed out so freely just degrades community by making people reluctant to comment.



Your parent poster did a :s/M$/Microsoft on that comment before you read it.

Edit: They then replied to your post with "I was wondering the same thing", before reading my post and deleting that comment.

"M$" is a shorthand for "Microsoft" - is not just shorthand, it's a sophomoric statement with commentary. If you don't know that, use words and phrases you understand.
