My brother what has happened here. Your first two comments were very constructive and genuine and now look where you’ve fallen

The last downvote happened.

I vented 6k contributed comments and posts worth of random unexplained disapproval, there.

Baseless downvotes annoy me over time, so I provoked the type of people who make them out of the woodwork so I could take a couple swings. Lo and behold, worked exactly the way any idiot could predict.

I feel much better now.

How devoid of value is your life that you let a couple of meaningless downvotes get you this bent out of shape?

I will give you credit for creativity for somehow claiming victory because you managed to let so many people piss you off so many times.

Can you whine about it some more though, this is oh so much fun!

Exactly, it's meaningless, yet not without consequence. An early downvote can kill a post by smothering its visibility when new.

I take issue with people taking baseless action, doing, even when they can't possibly back it up with words, and affecting things in ways they are too dumb to even consider.

Such instances are infuriating. Exemplary of the worst in us.

I see you're having a go at putting some sentences together to excuse a type of parasitical behaviour even more toxic than mine, but whatever.

You'll have to do better than this now that I've got the whole thing out of system.
