1) Friends of the parent poster?
2) People thinking "dummy" might hurt one's feelings?
3) People willing to accept needless pedantry when what was meant is obvious?
4) People that also think that the original comment was against english keywords?
Well, most people around here seem to think that throwing around invectives lowers the quality of discourse, so yes, you probably got downvoted for that. But actually, and, yes, I may be stupid and slow, but I actually thought the author was a non-native English speaker who didn't appreciate blocks of English in his code. I made that jump after considering his statement in light of other large blocks of natural language that often exist in code -- comments.
