  I don't appreciate your use of such a broad stroke as you could alienate people who haven't thought much about their privilege but have a knee jerk reaction to anything that seems to undermine their status. Many people browse these threads, from all walks of life, races, colors, religions, classes, and privilege. Maybe I'm being down voted because of the error in my last paragraph, or my language. Maybe I'm talking too authoritatively about my proposed solutions and someone whose experienced them doesn't want to engage me but knows first-hand of their flaws. Maybe they just don't like the democratic process. Who knows? Unless they comment their voice goes unheard. At least mine does not. Social structures work best when people reason amongst each other about problems. Failures of this process rapidly degrade the quality of communities. Perhaps dowvotes should only be allowed with a comment? Obviously That presents its own problems... Meh.
