I’m not sure how to act on this information or the corresponding downvoting. Is there something I could have done to make it more interesting? I’d really appreciate knowing.
To be clear: I replied before you edited the comment to make it a question about downvotes. Before your edit you were asking for an explanation of the inferential silence. That is what I explained. The downvotes are probably a combination of the boringness, the superiority you were signalling and left-over-bad-feeling from other comments you’ve made tonight. But I didn’t downvote.
Given the subject and content of the comment it probably couldn’t have been substantially less boring. It could, however, have been substantially shorter.
