How many times have you misunderstood why you were upvoted and had to ask?
> you call it complaining.
"If downvoters keep on this hypocrisis I will
delete the post again. This is ridiculous."
A few times though, I got good feedback and was also able to make my point more clear after I asked about the reasons for the downvotes.
Also, I prefer that people reply instead of downvote (except it's trolling) which is also a reason I address this. Look, I reply to you as well. Hope I didn't make you too angry and I try to improve.
I agree. I don't think downvoting is particularly conducive to good discussion (there's already a way to flag posts that may be inappropriate or spammy), but most people who downvote probably just disagree and don't want or have time to reply or argue.
> Hope I didn't make you too angry
I wouldn't say I was angry, I just saw three comments about downvotes which seemed a bit excessive, then saw more in other comments.
Thanks for the replies and reasons though.
