At this point I wouldn't be surprised if there existed at least one person who did follow chaosmosis around to downvote everything he said. I strongly disapprove of this being done, but it's the inevitable conclusion when someone chooses to spew insults on other people en masse.

I focus my specific moderating attention on cases that do real damage to serious conversations (which usually means straw man power user debaters.)
