Well, it's not an issue for me and I also think it's a non-issue. Hopefully, you will allow me to have my own opinion on a question or should I ask for your permission first?
And btw by 'obsessing' I was only reacting to the fact that out of the two discussions/threads we participated in you and I in the last couple days (threads you initiated) both were about your very personal issue with people apparently heavily downvoting you. I could suggest you go back reading my answer in that first thread, but I'm starting to realize you may not want to discuss my suggestion and would rather be told you're right. Which I think you're not, if that was not obvious. See? I don't need to downvote you to share the fact I don't agree with you.
Black and white? I'm not and I would even suggest that it would help (you) if you stopped making a personal attack out of any remark that doesn't fit your narrative. Was I supposed to write a 40 pages essay to make my opinion more acceptable to you? Fine, I will do it after I read your own 40 pages.
But worry not as I won't bother you with that ever again or with any suggestion that you would gain a lot by focusing your energy and time (think how precious time is) on things you can act upon, and learn to live with the world around you and people not being perfect (that means all of us, you and I included). If you really want to believe that fighting the 'issue' of Downvotes will make your life better, by all mean keep on doing it.
And be assured I did not Downvote you, and only tried to suggest you may be adventuring yourself in some kind of a dead-end and, once again, that you may be wasting some real precious time, time you will never be able to get back the day you realize you could have spend it on something worthwhile. Have a nice day.
