    Also, I just wanted you to know I’m not the one who downvoted you. Someone, (I suspect a bot) is downvoting everyone on here, exactly once.

    When I get a comment thats 3 upvotes and 14 downvotes, I say “Oh. THAT comment wasn’t popular.” But when I see ever comment of mine is 8 upvotes, 1 downvote. 3 upvotes, 1 downvote. 62 upvotes, 1 downvote.

    When I see that, on almost every comment I make, it gets me irrationally angry, because I know the downvote isn’t someone joking. The downvotes aren’t someone actually disagreeing. Its just someone who enjoys spreading negativity. THAT makes me mad.

    And in situations like this where I reply a disagreement, it’s easy to think the only downvote is from the guy who disagreed. Unfortunately, thats not the case.
