This post must be down voted because of author not content since I don't find anything wrong with the latter.

That doesn't really follow. You could be missing a problem with the content, or someone else could mistakenly observe same. (Or both!) (Or there's some third reason to downvote comments that is neither author nor content!)

I will edit that sentence since I see your point about it.

You could be missing a problem with the content, or someone else could mistakenly observe same.

This is not something I've overlooked. I did say I didn't find anything wrong with it, I expected to be corrected if wrong or change some minds if the down voters where wrong.

(Or there's some third reason to downvote comments that is neither author nor content!)

You have to admit that considering author in question my hypothesis is very likely.

Edit: Can down voters please explain why you've down voted this comment?
