  I don't think there is anything wrong with pointing out people's petty behavior. Petty people who don't take the time to make an argument or don't have one to make might feel differently.

    Downvoters have no responsibility to justify their actions. The guidelines certainly don't say justification is necessary.

      They certainly don't. And the rules don't say they have to. That is the definition of pettiness.
