Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Wouldn't it depend on the context though? If someone's being downvoted for something correct but unpopular, is that okay as per site guidelines?

My own practice is to largely ignore instances. They're not hurting my Imaginary Internet Points much at all.

Very occasionally I'll ask if someone could clarify or substantiate concerns with a comment. But that's about as far as any notice should go.
