I've upvoted this comment.
I laugh at the flag that was pinned to it, especially after I already qualified this.
According to downvote rules that pop up:
Hate speech or internet trolling
So the downvote flag appeared to have been appropriate in that particular instance on your @elfspice comment which threatened @good-karma
I want to thank you for your comment this time around.. as you can see you can still make your viewpoint heard without attracting downvotes.
As far as your chat with @ned, I can't comment on it. Perhaps you might try again, I don't know. Either way, that's a completely different topic than the subject matter of this post we're talking about.
Either way, I think the HF18 beneficiary feature is now well explained, and I thank you for your attempt to bring light to the issue (even if I disagreed with your original method).
Alas, here's where I move on and let my opinions on the issue rest.
(I really don't want to talk about this anymore. If you like I leave the last word to you.)
