Well-Kept Gardens Die By Pacifism
downvoting is just as much a problem with fools as well. A good downvote is when a post/comment is abusive or pointless. A bad downvote is when the voter disagrees with the opinion expressed. Mention Microsoft on slashdot you'll get downvoted, period. Mention VisualBasic on any tech forum you'll get downvotes regardless of the point you're trying to make.Eventually you learn to stop trying to present alternative points of view and just go with the flow or leave because the "fools" are now in charge of the downvoting.
