Right, but then we invented "Tapping out" so that wouldn't become an issue.

"Tapping out" can be interpreted as conceding and is thus low status.

If you're that worried, link to the wikipage which defines away that connotation, like "I'm tapping out.".

Signaling doesn't work that way. I'd think someone who reads Game blogs would know that.

Call it something else then, or be more direct and paraphrase the wikipage, or take it into PMs, whatever you fancy. The point is that you shouldn't feel guilty replying to a comment just because it was downvoted.
