That's my observation as well. Personally I feel the urge to downvote whenever someone complains about being downvoted. I haven't actually done so yet, mostly because I haven't managed to explain the sentiment to myself.

I didn't complain about the first three downvotes I got all in a row yesterday. While I didn't understand why they occurred, I figured the comments were such that it wasn't out of the question for someone to have an issue with all of them. But this one seemed inexplicable, and I wanted it to either go away or explain itself. If I'm actually doing something wrong, I want to know what it is so I can stop doing it deliberately instead of relying on eventual operant conditioning to kill the bad habits. If I'm not actually doing something wrong, then the downvote is unfair and it's kind of others to counteract it.
