I'm confused on why people would downvote threads that account for most of the content in this community

Sorry, fellow mod. This thread is kind of getting out of hand, excuse my judgment but I'm going to be locking it.

Before I do so, I want to make a few things clear...

Downvoting is what one might call a public function. It falls within one's supposed right to do so.
Weaponizing any system to further this, however, is against site rules.
As far as etiquette goes, it still does speak for one's character what one sees as likable.
You are not defined by your critics. I enjoy discussing all of your interesting points of view.
Since this seems to be such a grand issue, I wonder how many of you have heard of [email protected]

With love from Mod Leni.
