I find it interesting how many people here (including myself) assumed you literally voted it both up and down.
And for extra irony it is interesting to note that I wasn’t one of them and it didn’t even occur to me that it would ever be taken literally. I make the same criticism/compliment myself from time to time and don’t actually click anything given the technical equivalence. Actually voting up and down is an optional extra for those with a truth fetish.
tests Per another commenter, the second vote seems to supersede the first vote, so they’re actually not technically equivalent, interesting :)
That said, I didn’t put any great weight in it being literally true, nor am I offended that it was a joke. It’s the sort of joke I’d make myself; it just seemed slightly more likely/interesting[*] that it was meant literally :)

Yes, you have to click the second one twice. ;)
Based on the karma for my last comment (-2), I’m hoping someone simply forgot that step :)
I’m not sure what happened to the voting in this thread. I assume someone took offense at the whole conversation. Never mind.
