So what's happening here? The parent made a reasonable comment, without flaming anybody. All his children give evidence for him (except one but they weren't able to downvote) and yet the parent is downvoted. Votes don't matter but I'm curious about drive-by-downvoting. What does that signify? Fanboyism?
