My guess? People are more or less randomly downvoting me these days, for standard fear and hatred of the admin. I suppose somebody’s going to say that this is an excuse not to update, but it could also be, y’know, true.
A review of your recent comments page puts most of the comments upvoted and some of them to stellar levels—not least of which this post. This would suggest that aversion to your admin-related commenting hasn’t generalized to your on topic commenting just yet. Either that or all your upvoted comments are so amazingly baddass that they overcome the hatred while the few that get net downvotes were merely outstanding and couldn’t compensate.
Or the downvoters are fast and early, the upvoters arrive later, which is what I’ve observed. I’m actually a bit worried about random downvoting of other users as well.

Ahh, those kind of downvotes. I get those patterns from time to time—not as many or fast as you are able to I’m sure since I’m a mere commenter. I remind myself to review my comments a day or two later so that some of the contempt for voter judgement can bleed away after I see the correction.
I’ve noticed the same thing once or twice—less often than you, and far less often than EY, but my (human, therefore lousy) memory says it’s more likely for a comment of mine to go to −1 and then +1 than the reverse.

Or it’s just more memorable when this happens.
