Or just accept some downvotes now and again? They'll stop at -4 anyway. I've hit it (and once in awhile I've probably deserved it), and known some nice thoughtful people IRL who also post here and had it happen on comments I thought were perfectly fine. Sometimes you just hit a weird mood in a thread or whatever; it's not worth worrying about unless the moderators tell you to cool it.

The system of likes/dislikes, upvotes/downvotes, etc are a feedback mechanism specifically designed to leverage the fact that we are predisposed by evolution to worry about that exact thing. So while I accept it to the extent that I still post here, I feel like 'don't worry about it' completely misses the point of 'it'. It exists specifically for you to worry about.
