Lessons learned:

  • continue to mentally /ignore people and posts I don't care for on IRC and online forums

  • never comment on bad posts or explain my downvote on LW

  • be more generous with upvoting good contributions and give a short praise when warranted.

The difference between explaining bad posts and punishing misbehaving dolphins is that the explaining is done for the purpose of the other readers, not just as a punishment.
