Seems like noise to me. Only one person cared enough about what you wrote to vote, and they disliked your post. Upvoted back to zero, since the comments seem pretty reasonable to me.
Thanks; it didn’t occur to me to think of it statistically, although it seems obvious now.
That said, individual downvotes / upvotes still have reasons behind them; it’s just that you can’t generally expect to find out what they are except when they come in significant clusters.
I wouldn’t mind knowing the reason I was downvoted here.
