That wasn't a complaint. It was a request for clarification. I don't know what I did wrong in the eyes of the downvoter so I can't do anything to correct my behavior in the future.
95% of the time, it's obvious to the person being downvoted, why they were downvoted. However when it is nebulous, then there is no lesson that the downvotee can learn from the situation.
If it makes for boring reading, there should be a feature that allows you to make a comment that is only visible to the downvoter or make it possible to ask the downvoter why they downvoted you in a way that allows them to respond anonymously.
