It's at least unusual in the sense that the top downvoter to a particular member has generally posted about three times as many downvotes as the second most prolific downvoter-- and the second most prolific downvoter is also a problematic downvoter. The top five downvoters for a member show something like a power law in terms of numbers of downvotes.

I'm not answering your second question. I've got a bad feeling about doing so, and I suspect the result would tend towards drama and possibly be a violation of privacy.

How about the top downvoter for a different member?

It takes me weeks to get answers from support. I assume they're busy, so I'm not going to ask them extra questions, even though that's an interesting one.

It's possible that the stats show a different pattern if they're from people who aren't complaining.

It sounds like the moderators don't have direct read access to the logs. Maybe it would simplify things if they (or at least one of them) did.
