People here downvote when they don't agree with you, when they're in a bad mood, when they want to hide what you've written, when they had some bad soup, etc.

People here downvote when they don't agree with you, when they're in a bad mood, when they want to hide what you've written, when they had some bad soup, etc. In some contexts one can take a little bit of pride in being downvoted. Downvoting doesn't mean much here, unfortunately.
