I don't really have much to add, but since I mildly expect this to be downvoted, I'd like to add as a data point that a) I don't mind this post though I would not like such posts to be commonplace, b) the downvotes seem suspicious to me too, c) I do not think they were fair and d) I would personally be a bit upset if this happened to me and wouldn't want to be further punished for having brought it up.
