awesome... 3 more down votes. At this rate I should be back down to 0 Karma by morning. If I am doing something wrong here wouldn't it be better to tell me what it is rather than just down vote in silence?
People interpret it as whining, and feel whining is deserving of downvotes.
It's not a community norm I agree with --- I feel that if you want to know what you've done wrong and you're not acting all entitled about it (oh, but some people might interpret your reactions as acting entitled) then someone should tell you.
I don't think my "why the down vote" was any type of "entitlement". It was a just a question. Could easily ahve been answered. and it was. but then it was also down voted.. which in itself is not helpful at all. The answer given was some what helpful but I had follow up to it. and that too was down voted.. still with no real helpful answer. So at that point I was more frustrated than anything. Now I understand.
I wasn't ranting at all. And certainly not the first time. I asked a simple question. Then a follow up question for clarity. And rather than help me to understand... people just kept down voting in silence. But now I know. Be brilliant or be silent. Got it. And I do care about Karma a little because that is the only way I will be able to go around down voting in silence like a coward. ;) j/k
