No, and that's ridiculous. Your rule says, "Please don't bait other users by inviting them to downvote you or proclaim that you expect to get downvoted." I didn't bait anyone nor did I say I expected it. I said I was risking downvotes by having a contrarian opinion. Expectation and acknowledgement of risk are not identical. In any case, you've won dang. While I've been a user here for nearly four years, you've really convinced me that participating in this community is wasted effort. Feel free to delete this account. I won't be back.
