    Default Posting in comment sections, oddities

    Just had something happen to me recently that I found amusing, wondered if it happens to anyone else. You are trawling through your yahoo news feed, commenting on various articles, when, UH OH! Someone didnt like your post on how all fish should be given fur coats, and you notice that literally every single post you have made in the last couple days, on a dozen different subjects, has gotten an extra downvote. Its just intensely amusing to see when someone clearly hates your stance on fish clothing so much that they can only express it by down voting everything you have ever said on any subject at all. Has anything odd like this ever happened to you guys on any comment section?

    My wife used to yell "murderer" when we passed the fur-coat store at the mall (when we were in our teens and/or though college).

    Likely you just caught the attention of someone board on a slow day at work. Likely a board jerk, but someone board none the less.

    Once I followed a series of links to Reddit (which I think has up and down votes) and there was a link back to one of my comments ar a different site which was used as an example of how horrible are the views at that site.

    Reddit is the best place to find the echo chamber that most perfectly fits your needs. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time there.

    I find it hard to read anything at Reddit (and I mean that literally, it's just hard for me to read the text on my phone) so I seldom linger there long.

    Also, every echo chamber on Reddit insists that the Reddit admins are biased against them. They must be biased against you because they banned r/SubredditYouLike but not r/SubredditYouDontLike!

    Those kind of comment sections attract all sorts of people you wouldn't wanna mix up with.
