There's a crowd that is mind-killed, disagrees with your general philosophy, and down-votes you basically at random when you articulate it - without regard for quality of a particular post or even if you are really trying to make controversial assertions?
Hey, me too! :)
But my crowd and your crowd don't seem to agree very much. :(
Maybe both sides should stop trying to silently suppress contrary views?
Nah, that would never work.
Right, I didn't mean to imply my situation was unique. I see exactly what you mean and I think we used to have less of that. It is one of the indicators of the lower quality of discussion I think I'm seeing.

And voting adds legitimacy to it.
Thank you.
