To those who downvoted me. Could you provide me with your specific reason so that I could actually learn something from this?

I downvoted, "I'm not going to read all of your post, but..." for the dismissive tone*. After reading this comment I recognized that the tone was something I was projecting onto the comment and removed my downvote. I downvoted "Fuck you whoever downvoted ..." for pointless combativeness*. After downvoting the other two I downvoted "I'll be the judge of that" reflexively but removed the downvote after actually thinking about it for five seconds.

* under the general category of "do not want to see comments like this".

-16 seems massively disproportionate to the initial offense so I removed my down vote. Upvoted this.

What would be the initial offense?
