    As bananadave says, if you give us examples, there could be reasons. Or perhaps you've just been unlucky or misunderstood. I once posted a funny thing about pirates that I thought was going to make people laugh but I got seven shades of hate for it. No idea why. I thought people liked pirates.

      hahaha, well that's lame.

      And ok. Here's an example:

      My story: http://isitnormal.com/story/i-want-doomsday-on-the-21st-144878/

      Basically the same story: http://isitnormal.com/story/is-it-normal-i-am-looking-forward-to-humanities-demise-40709/

      Notice the drastic difference in responses.

        One thing I've noticed about IIN is the "pack" mentality. If someone posts something and it's up-voted, people's responses afterwards often appear sympathetic with the up-voted post. It's almost like being are so petrified of being down-voted (or picked on) that they say what they think someone wants to hear, as opposed to what they actually think.

        The difference in responses you got might really just be down to the differing attitudes of the first few people to post on each story.

          I thought that might be what it was.
          I guess I just post at the wrong times of the day.

          Well thanks for your input :)
