I think the root of our misunderstanding is that in the sequence
I took your "the above comment" to refer to Annoyance's first comment (the same one as he meant when he used the same phrase) whereas you were referring to his second (the one you were replying to).
For what it's worth, I have an alternative hypothesis for the downvotes on Annoyance's second comment too (though not as compelling as the one I have for his first): at least three people hate it (here and on other sites like Reddit, Hacker News, etc.) when people complain about getting downvoted, and perceived Annoyance's second comment as a complaint. (That perception may have been influenced by other interactions with Annoyance, but that's not the same thing as punishing him for those other interactions.)
That's a reasonably plausible hypothesis -- I'm glad I asked. This is my first experience with rated comments, so I wasn't aware that was common.
A search for other people who have commented about receiving down votes turned up this thread. It seems karma-punishing is common too.
