Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.

gratuitous- uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted.

I feel that my comment falls into what I consider a fair statement about the severity of the situation. They have my passwords and could easily hike up their rates. This change may add features I didn't know I wanted, but thus far I'm happy with the way LastPass has been operating and I don't want a change.



This comment meets the standard. Negativity without any explanation was the issue. Thanks for clarifying.


The explanation was easily inferred. Not a huge fan of your interpretation.


What's your explanation then?


What are you asking me to do? Explain someone else's post to you after they took the time to spell it out specifically for you?

I won't be doing that.


Sorry, I meant "Why did he get downvoted then?" I got hit for trying to explain what I thought was a reasonable scenario.

I'll tell you what I think. I was right; he was too negative; and folks feel threatened by that. Fits the data here pretty well.
