No ill will here, but I may have some insight for you. HN is a community of "hackers". Hackers are builders. Hackers take things apart and understand how they work, whether that be a physical thing, or a conceptual thing. Given the parent poster's example, I think they're bothered by your incorrect statement regarding the TokyoFlash watches. A small point, yes, but many hackers have a penchant for accuracy.

I corrected the post, added twitter and struck thru digg

Yes, it was a rant I had after going to this other site, or sites for that matter.

Was just trying to show how quickly things change, since a year or so ago, every site had that digg button as well. Guess it didn't really read that way
