The negativity has gotten kind of out of control. Personally, I only downvote if the comment is seriously rude/irrelevant/trolling. People have been using it for comments that they simply disagree with. Some people have posted well articulated thoughts that may not be popular, and still get tons of downvotes. It's not like there is a rule for what you can and can't downvote, but I think some people get a little too trigger happy with it.
I never cared for the thumbs ups and downs[ at first thought u get points or something for em] This is a forum for discussion simple as that even if some ppl like ur idea or not
It's gotten to the point where some users are afraid to make posts that not everyone will agree with because of downvotes, you can say just … moreignore it but it's part of human nature to want to feel liked and accepted. Just get rid of it and keep the up vote option

It wasn't directed towards you, it was directed to quite a lot of people. Not you, specifically.
