To quote some true words of wisdom > Ain't nobody got time for that No time for the poster to read through a page of text, or for the downvoter to find the most appropriate link describing their rationale. I think it is much better for the commenter to post in a reply why they downvoted. It shows they are willing to engage. To simply post a link may signal to the original poster that the downvoter couldn't be bothered, or that he just pushed a button and ran. Second, even for a broad class of entries downvoted for a similar reason, each one has some nuance which may get lost if all the poster has to go on is a preachy page.
