- pessimizer 12y agoWhen you post things like this, my downvote ends up nullifying my initial upvote on your OP. If you value the precious magic internet points, with a complaint about downvotes you're just giving people twice the opportunity to downvote you.
- cornholio 12y agoI agree it looks stupid, but when I posted that there were three negative votes and not a single reply. I really don't care about the downvotes, I want arguments. The lending industry is like a drug store: you care cure some diseases with the right drugs, but you can't run it like an "all you can eat" buffet. People will kill themselves, literally.
- pessimizer 12y agoIf I want to encourage people to respond because I'm honestly interested or confused, I edit my downvoted reply and double-down on the explanation of my point-of-view. It's important to me that people downvote me for something that is expressed unambiguously and that I truly believe. Then, it's a point of pride to be downvoted. Also, for anti-authoritarian/anti-libertarian stuff that gets downvoted: I notice that I generally get most of the votes back later in the day and overnight after Europe gets into the office. The US middle class is generally very angry, and believes that money is the condensation of divine grace. Just saying.
