Personally, I'd much more appreciate it if the cool heads with the greater thinking skills got involved in the discussion and brought some sense with them, but I can understand your point of view.
Be well.
(And feel free to "flag" me back if you dissagree btw, I have made my thoughts on downvoting clear in my profile.)

To be honest, I am not sure why you would downvote a flippant lob from the sidelines as the perpetrators justify and counter-justify.
What does your downvote achieve?
I have never downvoted and I do not intend to start here.
I am just curious as to why you might do that and what it means to me - I really have no clue!
I consider it an apropriate way to make the community more accustomed to seeing downvotes again (even if they are still marked with a confusing flag), when I disagree with something and want to adjust potential rewards of any kind for that content. I've also written just a little bit in my profile description about my voting and downvoting behaviours.
I hope it means very little to you in terms of your view of me, as I mean no offence by it and I'm not hurting your reputation or even hiding your comment.
