No offense, but your comment sounds like astroturfing (I'm not saying you are, just that it's part of a pattern I see).
I often see one or more commenters write what seems like an excessively positive thought dump on Show HNs. It just doesn't seem like the natural conversational tone everyone uses, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Has anyone else noticed it? Is there a term for this sort of writing style?
It could be that I need to work on my writing skills. I'll admit, I'm an systems engineer not a writer. On the other hand, HN commenters tend to convey a healthy dose of cynicism and skepticism. Also it's known that negative comments come across as more trust-worthy than positive comments on the internet. I simply used this tool and it did what it said it did. I don't give a positive review unless I had a good experience. But it is easier for all of us to believe people with some degree of skepticism and cynicism.
