Why downvote a perfectly good, reasonable comment just because another comment by the same user wasn't as appealing to you?

I don't think that wedrifid was saying that he does this. (I'm not sure that you were reading him that way.) I think that he just expects that, if explaining downvotes were the norm, then he would read a comment every week or so saying, "downvoted because something you said in a different thread offended me".

Yes, although not so much 'a comment every week or so' as 'a page or two every week or so'.
