Downvotes don't mean "I don't like you", they mean "I'd like to see fewer comments like this one".
Although I suspect they sometimes mean "I'd like to see fewer comments like this one where 'like' includes 'by this author' because I don't like him!"
There's a solution for that. (At least a partial solution. As a long-time AK user I find that I can more and more reliably identify a few commenters by their style. Even so I typically vote on substance alone.)
Do you often confuse me with Clippy? I would have thought my comments were for most part reasonably distinctive...
Just that once. That comment was, roughly paraphrased, "would you like me if I said X", which was quite Clippy-esque. Less so when seen in context.

Is that an emoticon of a partially unbent paperclip? How gruesome!
It's just an abstract depiction. It's not like those awful videos you humans allow on the internet that show a paperclip being repeatedly bent until it has a fatigue failure. Yuck!
