What about requests for explanation of drive-by downvotes? I usually place them in a different mental category to general complaints/comments about the karma system
I downvote most talk about karma (complaints, “I bet you’ll downvote me”, etc) as well, because I want people to do so less. But I support requests for explanations of downvotes, because I want people to explain their downvotes.
EDIT: Okay, I’ll get aboard the irony train: Why was I downvoted?
I downvote almost all posts which are solely about karma, including this one.
To follow the policy I’d have to downvote this post but I upvoted it because I really like this policy.
I meant posts, not comments :)

Personally, I’m OK with people humbly asking for reasons, as long as there is no implications that the downvotes are somehow “wrong”.
