I was very angry at your pity party comment. I don't come to Less Wrong to be trolled. I probably should have either not replied to you or waited until I'd calmed down before I replied. (Downvoting your comment seemed too petty, and I'm not one of the people who did it.)
Instead, I deliberately ignored some of what you said.
I was attempting to deal with my own emotional state, and had no idea you'd react so strongly. It's possible that something similar might be true of your post.
I apologize; I didn't recognize that my comment was over the top. My comment probably wasn't relevant in light of the article, either.
I also admit that you are right about the issue carrying emotional weight for me; I get a bit impatient at repeatedly hearing about the latest poor/pitiful group du jour, who inevitably has it even better than me.
