Doesn’t know? Of course said user knows. Do you think there’s someone going “Um, lots of upvotes here? I have no idea why, so I better downvote each one.”? It’s someone who doesn’t agree / care for the custom. Probably some crooked man, and not of the Scottish General variety (generally, no true Scottish General).
Edit: Don’t know who, if it’s considered against any unwritten rules, it should be easy to find out who it was.
Sorry, it was through no fault of your own. The “crooked man” (stand-in for villain) reminded me of the “There Was a Crooked Man” nursery rhyme. The (short) wiki article should explain the rest.
Other than the riff on the No True Scotsman, since indeed the kind of people downvoting others generally consider themselves to be the “true LessWrongers”, or so I’d surmise. It was just a throwaway thought, thanks for inquiring :-).

This sentence is utterly impenetrable to me, and googling turns up nothing relevant. My curiosity is piqued—would you mind explaining a bit?
