Why downvote a perfectly good, reasonable comment just because another comment by the same user wasn’t as appealing to you?
I don’t think that wedrifid was saying that he does this. (I’m not sure that you were reading him that way.) I think that he just expects that, if explaining downvotes were the norm, then he would read a comment every week or so saying, “downvoted because something you said in a different thread offended me”.
I didn’t interpret the comment as meaning that wedrifid would downvote on this policy, or that he advocated. It’s probably true that there are people who do. That just makes me sad.

Yes, although not so much ‘a comment every week or so’ as ‘a page or two every week or so’.
