Thanks for using manual mode (Joshua Greene) or slow mode (Kahneman) to interpret this writing instead of sticking with your initial emotional reaction. It must have required a lot of attention.
I noticed a pattern in my posts (then I tested my hypothesis and confirmed it). I start being downvoted, mostly the hardcore crowd I presume, or people who agree with your assessment of some of my previous posts. If I go under threshold, I ask people to read it (in Brazil or in facebook), they upvote me back. Then in the long run I get upvoted, frequently with a low percentage.
To test if all upvotes were from brazilians I specifically told people to keep below a number for a post, so any ups beyond that point would surely been from elsewhere. In the beggining it was more of the same, downvoted, then upvoted to that limit. And as I predicted, quite a few upvotes after the stabilizing point (when no one else was upvoting because I asked them to read)

I don’t know what to make of that.
