I think the downvotes come from the comment not really saying much.

If my use of Tor makes me look suspicious in the eyes of the police is that the purpose of Tor?

And I think it comes from bots who attempt to police allowed thoughts on HN. To each their own, I suppose

Is reading the astralcodexten post among your allowed thoughts? I don't downvote comments, but I think POSIWID is total bollocks. It may mean "some systems are somewhat corrupted by malign influences", in which case phrasing that as POSIWID is an outrageous exaggeration, or it may mean "there are no purposes", which is just untrue, or "your hoped-for purpose is naive", which is made less clear by phrasing it as POSIWID.

You can ask dang specifically or another moderator to prove if you are being trafficked down to irrelevancy by bots. I'm very certain you're wrong either way.
