    I see it more as a “this person is a moron/ arguing in bad faith” button for comments, or a “this doesn’t belong here/ is spam” button for posts.

      Yes, same for me. If a person is hostile and trolling. Although the latter can also be subjective.

        If I’m being 110% honest, if it’s a comment being down voted, I’m probably about to start trolling that person. Life is too short to not fuck with unreasonable people.

          Sometimes I receive a share of downvotes. Which only bothers me when I really have no idea why, because usually I want to know if I am on the wrong path and improve.

            Yeah, that’s happened to me a few times too. Sometimes it’s a misunderstanding, sometimes my opinion just doesn’t really mesh with some other folks. Sometimes I’m just being a dick and deserve it.
