To me they feel more aggressive, since they imply that the person doesn't have enough status to deserve an explanation from the downvoter.
An equivalent behavior in real-life interaction would be saying something like "you fail", followed by rudely ignoring the person when they attempted to follow up.
Not sure the status implication is accurate. When I vote down someone high-status, I don't feel any particular compulsion to explain myself. If anything, it makes me anticipate that I'm unlikely to change anyone's mind.
I think a much closer analogy than saying "you fail" is frowning.
Would you prefer that I posted a lot of comments starting with "I voted this down because", or that I didn't vote on comments I think detract from the site?
