Also someone else may have pointed this out but the general policy on lesswrong is not to vote on agree/disagree but on this comment was worth reading/was not worth reading.

No one "pointed this out" to me. But they did downvote whatever I said, without so much as a reasoned explanation. I seriously doubt that that is the actual universal employment of the voting mechanism, particularly since I've seen quite a few good posts on LW with numerous down-votes accorded to them. Perhaps my standards of "worthwhile reading" are too generous for the likes of LW'ers.

Saying you are not interested in upvotes is essentially saying you are not interested in contributing to the community.

No, I disagree that that is what I'm saying about the nature of not being interested in up-votes. I can still contribute without being up-voted, and I'm fine with that.

My grammar may be "convoluted" to those who do not take a liking to heady material (yes, I read difficult stuff all the time), so I can't be blamed for slipping into what I find most comfortable, just as you do without any second thought.
