Actually, you don't know it's wrong. You just know someone downvoted it and that's a completely different thing.

I see it in a similar way. Points do not really interest me, but when somebody obviously disagrees, then I would at least like to know the reason.

You probably won't like their reason either.

CG once downvoted my answer and provided a 'nice' little reason. Ok it went something like "if you expose a public property in my team I would fire you." I really liked his answer. I have used public properties sparingly ever since. My respect, even with that downvote, grew for him.

Shirley it was a a public member variable? And I agree with that sentiment.

No it was not that bad. :) It was a public property that could be used to communicate between two forms. There are other better ways to communicate between forms.

He's not complaining about the points. He's irritated that people downvote his answer without a supporting argument. Happens to me A LOT, like yesterday when I told a guy to search google, and to add the word "breasts" if he wanted more search results returned. I got 1-voted for that with no supporting argument. Pffft!

I figure that if he gets really good results (even if they're not what he was actually after), he would start to use google more often without being prompted to do so.

How about people that 1-vote all of the answers to their question because they simply don't like them, regardless of correctness? How can I protect my coding from hacker?[^]

Yeah those are generally the ones who are looking for in-built .Net functions for a library or hotel management system.
