I don't think he's trying to guilt you, he's just offering reasoning and discussion for his own stance. He's providing more information than a simple down vote, and I think that should be applauded.
I will admit the original post could have probably been written better, but I don't think we should be discouraging someone from questioning voting - especially when they're willing to engage in discourse, provide feedback, and suggest alternatives. It's an essential dialogue to keeping our garden well tended, even if his tone was a bit accusative ("I'm disappointed" instead of "Hey, what's going on here?")
I don't have a problem with people talking about upvotes and downvotes (well, actually, I do have a problem with it in many cases, especially when it's replacing what could be actual discussion, but that's not what's going on here, so it's beside the point). It's the argument in this post that bothers me, and that's what I'm trying to address here.
