Is it just me, or are HN comments becoming more and more negative?
pg: A little, probably.  There are good days and bad days.  I was particularly struck by the harshness of this one:http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=925034and also that such a huge number of people piled on to vote it up.In fact, that makes me wonder: could it be the voting that makes the tone of the site seem more negative?  There are often nasty comments lurking at the bottom of a thread with 1 point or less, but they're not very noticeable.  Whereas this one + 49 points (currently) = an angry mob.
