Why even bother contributing to the discussion at all then?

  He tried, but people weren't interested in reading his contributions. It's hard to expect people to force contribute something to a collective which is simply not interested.

    No, he did not try. As he said himself: > i'm not really worried about how my comments are interpreted That literally means that no serious attempt is being made at communicating. And given the voting on your comment, most other readers understand that, too. It's kind of part of the shared fabric of social expectations.

      It was after the initial comment was downvoted. Downvoting without asking for rationale was the reason he stopped worrying about comment votes, not the other way around. The fact that lots of people are doing some thing, doesn't make this thing right. After all, "I did it because the other guy did it" is an excuse for children.
