You need to get used to being down-voted 'just because'. A rough guess is that some commentators don't realize that less the perfection doesn't require their condemnation. Neither will they learn. I guess it's part of the cost of admission.

Maybe the solution lies in empowering *yourself* to avoid being upset/insulted by simply ignoring every little freakin microdetail about your online reputation? Why do people invest so much self-esteem in what anonymous nobodies on the internet think of them?

It really isn't about the points or the rep (utterly meaningless) - I've posted before on this subject and really don't care about the points. I am, however, genuinely curious as to what goes on in people's minds to cause them to downvote (usually) innocent posts. I was hoping that, for once, the person would have the courage to reveal themselves and the reason - after all, what can I do anyway? Downvote them for having an opinion? Hardly.

No, been here way too long to let it bother me. Points, after all, do not make prizes. :-)

Should I downvote you now or later, for even bringing this up? :~

It is far more likely that it was one of the carrion-sucking carnivores, in their continuing [and fruitless] attempts to discredit vegetarians and vegans. I've found them to be the verbal aggressors in essentially all instances. We vegetarians, you see, understand that the show-off carnivores are best handled in a manner similar to how one handles flies. You can shoo them off the lumps but they always come back. They, too, don't know any better. As an aside, PETA sucks: not because of their message but because of their arrogance.
