How insecure are you that you need people explaining why they disagreed with you?
Because an explained disagreement could lead to an understanding and acceptance. Something we all should aspire toward.
Anyone who disagrees with me is a moron so I don't care.
This is so asinine I literally loled.
Okay Mr Egoist.

It's funny and ironic that you have 10 downvotes but only two replies.
Anyhow I think this is it, but at the same time I do agree with others here that a reply to a downvoted comment promotes community, resilience, and hopefully empathy. But there's no way it's going to happen all the time. When it does, it's great, and when it doesn't, we shouldn't be offended.
You don't even know if the downvotes are coming from an actual human, so a few downvotes shouldn't make a difference. I realize this isn't the exact case that the OP is describing though.
Because humans are hardwired to crave acceptance from their ingroup.
