For the record, I only downvoted after I read the smug self-satisfied edit, and only then because discussing your fake internet points is exceedingly boring (not to mention violates the site guidelines).
- sershe 5y agoI don't refer to downvotes because of the internet points at all, only as a method of disagreeing. [This is all for before-the-edit] According to (or at least in the spirit) of guidelines, downvoting is not for the comments that you disagree with, it's for comments that don't contribute or make a point in the discussion. So, reddit-style passive-aggressive downvoting (again, before the meta-edit) really ticks me off. If you have something of substance to say, respond. Otherwise, what are you trying to do? The reason is I'm smug is in fact, yes, I think less of someone silently downvoting-as-disagreeing, as a discussion participant, than I would of someone who would have insulted me in all caps. At least the latter person stands by their potentially-unjustified position in person ;)
