Network your stuff better if you want more people commenting... down voting then a lame assed one word response is the opposite of engaging in a conversation.
Did I down vote this post or yours? No, because I'm not a bitch. I welcome difference in opinions and don't have to down vote someone that isn't being abusive.
I like bots that point out when someone is reposting the work of others etc... who knows maybe they'll add a way posters can enable/disable bots on their work.
