You've put a lot of effort into this post and whether one agrees with the premise or not, this effort deserves a reward.

I reached out to two of the downvotes on this post. One because I knew them and another to see why they thought this deserved one.

The user I know informed me they followed hivecleaner's trail and after reading your post has decided to no longer support their downvote trail. The second I have yet to hear from, but suspect the story to be similar.

{Edit}
Well, it looks like meesterboom downvoted you on his own accord. Telling, since he doesn't put much effort into his own content.
