Although I'm a Vim user I appreciate your comment and think you have a good point. However, I can't stand when a commenter anticipates a negative reaction to their post and dares readers to downvote them.

To bait downvoters is to imply that this community prizes popularity over integrity, and in doing so polarizes the discussion.
