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.
Why does this only happen to me?!

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 :)

Yeah, it really might be a "time of day" thing. :/
