Perhaps you’re expected to gracefully retract at some point.
I think the striken out posts can’t be further down voted and you are expected to use that tool to defend yourself against excessive down votes. That is entirely a guess and I am new here.
It’s a fact that stricken out posts can’t be further downvoted, but I don’t know about being expected to use that tool as a form of defense.
This was implemented because previously some people just deleted comments that got them lots of downvotes, and this caused disruptions in the flow of the conversation (one could no longer see what people were responding to).
You know, even if I’m wrong about the marriage, getting voted down to −10 seems a little excessive...

Not really. It’s a pretty silly theory.
