I'm sorry if this is a rude request, but I'm very new to the LW commenting process, so if anyone knows why my comments here were downvoted, I'd really appreciate it if that person would tell me, so I can improve my future participation on this site.

Thanks in advance!

The request is not rude and actually fairly common (but is not guaranteed to bring responses).

Note that LW up/downvoting is a noisy process and you shouldn't attempt to find meaning in every single vote. Also, this.

At the moment, all your comments seem to be net-upvoted, so there seems no evidence of a systematic objection to your participation. As I've observed elsewhere as well, comments that can be taken as supportive of progressive positions have lately garnered a few downvotes early on, which tend to get reversed by subsequent upvotes over the next few days. I wouldn't worry about it.
