Thanks, I always appreciate your thoughts, comments and upvote support! Great work on the progress on your epic legal case against Facebook/Google too - I always read your updates there.

It's actually Curangel and Newsflash that consistently put the biggest downvotes onto my posts. They have actually zeroed 8 of them in the last couple of weeks and nearly zeroed a few more. Smooth has put maybe 2 or 3 of his own in along the way too. Altleft is another one who often downvotes me heavily.

I personally feel a lot better about such downvotes if the person takes some time to engage in community connection and conversation, especially when the downvote is allegedly for 'difference of opinion'. I highly respect reasoned discussion and debate, so jumping for the downvote button feels like an avoidance of the whole purpose of social networks in favour of asserting some kind of dominance without even trying to demonstrate failing or mistake.

It's ironic that the downvotes are sometimes allegedly made due to a perceived poor ratio of upvotes to engagement, yet the downvoters themselves rarely, if ever, engage.
