Good question. I'm not sure, I didn't like it enough to upvote it but I'm not sure why it was downvoted.

Exactly, I wouldn't have upvoted it either ( but i did since i felt I felt it was unfairly downvoted - i have no idea of the 'plimethics' of that).

There are certain users who have decided that leo isn't part of the 'cool' crowd and downvote whatever he does. even the creation was downvoted to -42. I am upvoting solely to make up for their actions

Who's the 'cool' crowd? And why are they being so uncool?

Just passing thru to say that's definitely excessive..but it seems far and much more the exception rather than the rule where leo is concerned..and also that this was likely initially downvoted for being a link to a blog. fwiw, I can fully understand that and don't disagree, but haven't and won't vote either way. That said, it seems to be happening with more frequency in general recently..I upvoted sandsters quite alot the other day for multiple scores in the -70s, so maybe people are just playing around knowing they can do so anonymously.

You seem like a really cool person. I dont know why these people are treating you like this, but I personally dont think it will last. There is no reason for them to downvote you so much, and eventually I think they will realize this, or leave. (Have you ever noticed the annoying people seem to leave movie theaters before the movie is over? And sports before the game is over? I think this is the same.)

After having "upgraded" to Office 2007 and now being threatened with Vista, I genuinely liked the post.

What was that Mitt said the other day... I vote the party not the person?

« cb__ :  sandsters
sandster was splogging, blatantly and after several warnings. His case is a bit different. We (sandster and a few others) talked it out, and he claims to understand the self-linking policy now (and hopefully he does because he seems like a nice guy).

When downvoting, I make sure I include a reason for my downvote (unless it's a dupe and the dupe has already been mentioned), even if it's an unpopular reason. I hate seeing downvotes without any explanation.

I don't really understand what you guys are talking about, but I will vote for any link that puts Vista down, because Vista is Microsoft's zillion dollar rip-off.

Why downvote at all?

I sincerely ask.

IMHO, silence is far more of a statement. And perhaps what someone puts up is something they really enjoyed -- I mean, it's nice to be thought of!

I don't think to date I have downvoted anything.
(On Slickdeals maybe, but not here)

Well, there is an arrow that points down... It shouldn't go to waste, should it? (that's a joke by the way)

'Silence' accomplishes nothing.

*laugh* I was almost sure I'd have a downvote from you on that.

*wink*
