On: Block a tweet, its author, and every single person who liked it

My posts only get greyed out when people can't handle the truth!

Absolutely!

Furthermore, when this happens, you must always edit your comment to complain about downvotes! It's tradition.

I prefer to edit my comments to be far more reasonable after being down voted in ways that make the replies look unhinged

/S

HNs down-voting mechanism has definitely trained me - pavlov dogs style - to only write things that people here will like most of the time.

Working as intended?

Just need to train your brain to get that dopamine hit from the down votes... Let their anger and displeasure fuel your happiness :)

Hmm I wonder if that is healthy....

Tempting... but then you go too far in the opposite direction and assume people only disagree with you because they're just too dumb.

I think the ideal is to take the feedback, consider it, but feel free to discard it. But at least consider that you said something dumb or didn't express it as well as you could have.
