It's common for top-level posts to get downvotes early on. This is mysterious.
It only takes one cantankerous person who thinks that certain topics shouldn't be discussed on LW or whatever. Eh. Whoever's doing this, your behavior is mysterious enough that I suspect it only confuses people and doesn't successfully disincentivize anyone because they have no idea what's being disapproved of, and if you're actually trying to change what gets discussed on LW or whatever you should comment in addition to downvoting.
Regarding this particular post, I didn't downvote, but I didn't like the way the first paragraph ended. It seemed excessively confrontational and made me not want to read the rest of the post.
My intention was not to appear confrontational. It actually seemed obvious when I began thinking about this problem that the order in which we check actions in step 1 shouldn't matter but that ended up being completely wrong. That was what I was trying to convey though I admit I might have done so in a clumsy manner.
I liked the style.
