&gt; I&#x27;ve re-read it several times and I have no idea why you thought it was relevant or what point you were trying to make.<p>So people downvoted because you personally can&#x27;t understand the following two laughably easy to understand sentences?<p><pre><code>    Let&#x27;s say someone here posts &quot;fuck off&quot;
    or &quot;you&#x27;re an idiot&quot;. Please explain how
    that can be interpreted as constructive
    to a discussion here.

Made - completely relevantly - in response to someone claiming &quot;non-constructive&quot; is always subjective.<p>&gt; Comments like that will usually get you downvotes.<p>Why? Her post made no sense to me. If I can&#x27;t tell if someone is being serious how am I supposed to find out?<p>If only I had 500+ karma, I guess I could have just mindlessly downvoted her instead, since according to you if someone can&#x27;t understand a post, the poster should suffer for it.<p>&gt; You might disagree with (I do too), but pointing it out by calling people childish is going to get downvoted.<p>&gt; <i>It&#x27;s also childish</i> to keep whining^W complaining about downvotes using the same language that got you downvotes.<p>Yet somehow okay for you to use the same language?
