I call them drive-by downvotes. I imagine some guy in a black leather chair going "hmph," with an angry face, then clicking the down arrow. This is why I find it annoying. I see a lot of DH3+ comments being downvoted with no explanation. Then I want to upvote the comment and, at the same time, ask why it has been downvoted. My upvote probably wouldn't count. Then, in return, I'm afraid I'd get downvoted. From time to time I see someone else say "hey, why are you guys downvoting this? This guy is saying something worthwhile." In which case, the situation reverses and the originally negative comment is +1 or +2. Or more. BUT, still lacking an explanation as to why the comment was downvoted to a negative in the first place. Annoying.
