lol not negative utility to me- to him!
It hasn’t hurt my feelings or made me feel like a victim, I’m talking about how someone has misinterpreted and acted out on to the world.
Even at that it was such a minor incident that i’m not talking about this in terms of damage done. What i’m really saying is- why is someone acting irrational on a rationality website?

The obvious answer is that people here are humans and not Vulcans. But I don’t see the irrationality you are talking about. Rationality doesn’t specify values or goals. You know nothing about the person who downvoted you or the reasons he did it. Given this, your accusation of irrationality seems… hasty. Even irrational, one might say :-)
All that about a single downvote..? X-D
I recommend growing thicker skin, quickly.
