I don’t think downvotes should be that big of a deal. Figure simply that a couple of users thought “I would not like to see more comments like this,” for whatever reason. For example, I’ve downvoted your comment because I don’t think it advances the discourse to explicitly comment on how a seemingly reasonable comment has sunk down to −2. But it’s nothing personal, really.

What am I missing about this comment? I think it makes a reasonable point, but it’s on −2.
Can someone clarify what the issue is, or whether Mark’s trolling and I’m just too stupid to realise?

I am unable to articulate why, but for some reason I find it absolutely hilarious that my comment above is presently at −2.
