If it's this one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=120991 then the reason is not the comment so much as being in the wrong place at the wrong time. HN members are trying very hard to avoid becoming the next reddit... we want to keep the signal/noise ratio high. Since you were posting in (and thereby validating) a topic that many viewed as fluff, you sort of got crucified. That said, I didn't vote your comment down.

Then again, I could be overanalyzing the entire situation, and it could just be that a lot of this community prefers sex alone ;).
