then punishing you for downvoting all (90%+) of their comments ... is completely justified

Can I ask for some reasoning underlying this? In particular, I'm interested in what, in general, justifies punishment and who gets to decide whom to punish for what.

There is a discussion on this exact topic here.

I see no discussion on what justifies punishment, I see people saying "I would punish the guy", "I would not punish the guy". And the issue on who gets to decide is mostly absent, too, there is only that faceless "we".
