It’s not just you. A few folks have noticed this specific bad behavior.
Mathematically, just correct for it.
Socially, consider that it means that you’re posting things that a defector (boo! boo!) disapproves of.
Alternately, one of these days, one of us should run some sort of analysis correlating mass downvoting and other site activity ….
(Also, consider this a measure of the effect that one bored person can have, and the situation that person might be in. As far as I can tell, there’s only one mass-downvoter. Consider their lonesome plight!)

I am also getting the same treatment but find it very unlikely that there is only one such person doing this.
I’ve not yet seen groups of comments downvoted more than −1. If there were more than one mass-downvoter targeting the same users, I’d expect to see more −2′s.

The obvious alternative hypothesis is that there are different single downvoters, independently targeting different people.
