Based on the comment you still have on that page (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31087247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31087247), I'd guess the issue is your phrasing. "Like what?" can be read as aggressive. "All I can think of" can be read as dismissive. This isn't to say that the downvoters are necessarily right, but you might consider paying more attention to the ways you phrase things to avoid misunderstanding. For an even stronger example, consider the way you phrased this post: "Why are trolls downvoting my questions?" You'd probably get better responses with something that accepts the possibility that the downvoters are not trolls, but simply mistaken. Or possibly even right! I would suggest the more neutral "Why are my questions being downvoted?" if you are looking for honest advice.
