For comparison, I downvote maybe 30 or more comments some days. I’m very negative. Some things just litter the comment threads. So I do have a personal interest in not requiring explanations to downvote.
(I feel a little guilty, because I’ve been up-voting practically every at-least-mediocre top-level post. My first top-level post got upvoted and that gave me the courage to write more of them. At this early point in the site it’s more important to encourage good writers to participate than to crack down on posts that aren’t perfect.)

Thank you for performing this valuable service.
Yes, you’re much more negative than I.
