(Though to be fair I think this sort of depends on your definition of "regularly"—I think over 95% of my comments aren't downvoted, many of them getting 5 or more upvotes, in contrast with other contributors who get about 25% of their comments downvoted and usually end up leaving as a result.)
Well, if someone's comments are downvoted that regularly and still they stay LW regulars, there's something wrong.
Why? This isn't obvious to me. If the remaining comments are highly upvoted and of correspondingly high quality then it would make sense for them to stick around. Timtyler may be a in a similar category.
If I counted right, only 9 of Timtyler's last 100 comments have negative scores as of now.
25% would be a lot. It'd mean that you either don't realize or don't care that people don't want to see some types of comments.
With them or with us?
Most likely with them.
