What about your comment makes it worthy of downvoting? Is it that it's meta, or that it doesn't add content to the conversation, or just because you asked us to?
I can't for the life of me remember making this comment.
I'd guess that it was meta; it was semi-smart, but not very productive, so it deserved to be downvoted, which is what it asked for, and which it got. Basically, smart-sounding comments with tenuous relevance are a waste - the smartness should not be a shield.
