You've confused me. I'm familiar with the guidelines, but I've gone and re-read them to be sure, and I still don't see why you've pointed me at them. Would you be so kind as to be more specific?

More particularly, I was civil, I wasn't disagreeing,, I didn't introduce a classic flamewar, I didn't sign the comment, I didn't use uppercase for emphasis, I didn't complain that the submission was inappropriate, I didn't say HN was turning into Reddit, and I didn't complain about being downmodded.

Finally, it wasn't flame bait.

What do you think I've done wrong?

EDIT: It wasn't me that downmud you.
