Unenforceable wish: no limit on downvotes, but people should have to EXPLAIN them. I often learn more from opposing opinions than from statements of agreement. If I say something unpopular, I want to know WHY it’s so widely disliked. Maybe I’m unaware of something important.
All this extended conversation about all the downvotes and not a single person responded to the reason I gave for downvoting right up there.

As of now 19 folks responded with upvotes. The lack of comments is because you nailed it and nothing else needed to be said.
…because we weren’t responding to you?
