Since you want people to downvote you and also you want to be punished which usually means doing the opposite of what you want, should I punish you by doing the opposite of what you want and upvote you? But that’s what you want, and since you want to be punished which usually means the opposite of what you want, I should downvote. Which is what you want. Wait, no. You want that. Huh.

Therefore, that’s not a good definition of “punish”.
