Please don't ask this for every comment of yours that is downvoted, at least until you can reliably make comments that aren't downvoted. It clutters the recent comment threads.
(ETA: I posted this in response to two of the same query being issued in a row. I don't object to people asking why they were downvoted when it's occasional.)
I think that asking why a comment was downvoted would be legitimate even more than two times in a row, were the downvoted comments downvoted more than once.
For comments that were only downvoted once, it is not usually a question worth asking. So I agree with the literal reading of the original "don't ask this for every comment of yours that is downvoted" more than the clarification.
