Kind of ridiculous that someone downvoted this. Aren't downvotes supposed to suggest that the comment detracted from the conversation? In what way am I detracting from the discussion? Disagreeing isn't a reason to downvote.
Ignore individual downvotes. They're often mistakes, or people in bad moods, or etc. They usually get corrected, although as you've seen not enough people provide corrective upvotes.
Downvote for disagreement has a bit of history on HN.
