Yeah, I’m arguing against that mindset as a whole. I’d much rather people only downvote the content they disagree with, and to leave the other comments alone.
Anyway, so you think that it is fine, if for example I got annoyed at you during this discussion and went and downvoted all your unrelated to this comments in order to see fewer comments by you in the future?
I wouldn’t like it, but there is a difference (a rather large one) between not liking it and thinking that person should be punished for it.
I’m not in control of his/her downvote button, he/she is. This topic has come up many times, and yet no consensus has ever been reached. And it wasn’t only because of technical problems, either. Your preferences are your own, just leave me out of them, in a nutshell. (I did sign off on this, but didn’t want to leave your question unanswered. Stupid red letter symbol!)
