You comment is still basically unresponsive. Are we supposed to uncritically read everything we find on the web? Being critical is not the same as being negative, even if it's a feel good article.
You're right that thinking critically != negativity, but nobody ever said anything about thinking critically. What davedx was talking about is more akin to the rampant immature cynicism, contemptment, and 1up-manship around here. Similar to what you seem to be trying to do here by undermining his entire point with some sort of 'gotcha' angle interpretation. I personally didn't read the original parent comment as being too cynical (by HN standards), but it is indicative of the community around here.
@davedx: Thanks. More people should speak up about this sort of nonsense, cause it's really getting old...
