Your account has exactly the karma from your comments on this post and no more. Any chance you have some relationship with the author?

I don't comment much out here but have been an "active" HN user from a long time. By active I mean I religiously check all the links shared on HN everyday, it makes me smarter(I was pretty sure I was dumb until HN happened to me!). I did not write anything offending. I guess being critical is just not me. I liked what I saw and I had some time on my hands so figured could write something good about a script that's been so nicely done.

I guess you guys are allowed to downvote, my karma was 3 and you've now made it -1. That's ok, I only do good things in life, pretty confident good things would happen to me too :)

I have a twitter app http://justunfollow.com which has 150,000 users, I guess fake accounts can't do that :)

P.S. Do you really think a guy who's done such a wonderful javascript plugin would try to leave fake comments? I refuse to believe that!

Well, he did submit his commercial product as a story, so... yeah.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice plugin. But there are a lot of really nice jQuery tooltip plugins, and I don't see how this one is significantly better than the others.

Most of the UI in the samples I saw of this plugin seem good to go as is, I might not need to customize it due to the many options available. I'm not undermining any of the free plugins(I use a lot of free plugins and if not for them I would never have been able to build anything useful).

I'm sorry did not know commercial projects are not to be submitted here. Making money off free apps is so much more difficult. Charging a fee sometimes helps. Completely my point of view, though I may be wrong.

Just surprising that your account is so old but you've never commented on a story until today... And then you comment 4+ times! I wasn't suggesting your account was fake-- just that you might be helping out a friend a little too aggressively. Apologies if I'm wrong.

Oh no that's not needed. I understand your point of view and anyone with a first glance would have done the same. I don't know the guy, never interacted, don't know much about him either. I just randomly try to help at times, my way of getting good karma.

I guess I'm a good use case for anti spam algorithms, now you know what false positives are :)
