I was offering some feedback in response to your complaint about downvotes. I didn't want to replicate the same debates had in other threads on this topic. Generally, this kind of interaction -- relatively positive, to your credit -- is illustrative of why, I think. What I mean is this: I don't think either of us feel particularly satisfied with it, do we? This seems like a lost opportunity. I feel like you and I could easily have a productive conversation with another medium, such as in person or perhaps some platform with a different interaction pattern.
