Don’t sweat the vote. In the last few weeks I get flash-downvote spells (5-10 points drop in a matter of minutes on unrelated old comments) nearly every day, presumably from some anonymous coward(s) who are quietly pissed at me, and Merlin knows I said enough on this forum to piss off some otherwise rational people. Others complained of the same treatment before, hence no downvote button on the user page, but there is little one can do against a determined attacker.
Anyway. I find it best to stay away from karma discussions other than asking for feedback on unusually high upvotes or downvotes.
Who downvotes just because someone hasn’t heard the latest news about the OPERA anomaly? Upvoted to neutral.
