Indeed: isn't that precisely a good reason to reply rather than downvote?
I have maybe downvoted a handful of times in a decade of being on this site: only for spam or grossly misleading comments.
Increasingly I see seas of downvoted comments as-if this were reddit. I think that might just be it: the community has grown so large, it has attracted enough of those types who vote-their-emotions.
- slingnow 5y agoI think I agree with you in general, and to be fair I didn't downvote your original comment. My takeaway was that you were taking the unpopular opinion (programming is uniquely hard/creative/etc) and attempting to reinforce it by unfairly reducing the creative act of painting to no more than paint on a canvas. That's my best guess.
