How could you possibly know this is what is happening? Your long comment and this one have four critical comments and five downvotes apiece at the time of my viewing. The critical comments are by six different people, the downvotes are from five to ten people.
Obviously, were there no comments and a hundred downvotes you still couldn't conclude LW had the habit of downvoting without reading.
I got a downvote within about 10 seconds.
At this point it really doesn't matter much what you write. Voting patterns for the thread (and the related thread) are entrenched and you will be voted on by name not content. It is usually best to write the conversation (or the people) off and move on. There is little to be gained by trying to fight the death spiral.
Agreed. It's always that few seconds of utter despair that make me write stupid things. It's not long after the despair algorithm that the automatic "this isn't the should world, it's reality, any suffering you are experiencing is the result of samsaric delusion" algorithms kick in, at least for a little while.
