I wouldn't get too hung up on downvoting online, ignoring deliberately malicious actors the range of reasons for downvoting can go from "this person posted a hate crime" to "other people already posted something close enough to this" or even "this person gave a perfectly valid answer but it does not feel like it's taking the discussion in the direction I feel it's meant to go"
I know, just every now and then it is particularly weird and I comment. Also it was real quick, like I had said something so offensive it needed to be pounced on. :)
