Hexenherz 01/02/18 6:52:14 PM #6:	idk I engage when users are obviously wrong about something (like this Army recruiter trying to call me out on "making stuff up", and I asked him to explain how anything I said was factually incorrect and he just kept trying to attack me and then said "lol you're hopeless".) (cool story bro). Cases like that, there was no reason to say anything more so I just let it be. Otherwise it's like w/e, smart people will recognize the worth of my words and dumb people will be dumb. I've only been using the site seriously for the past half a year or so and have a fair amount of karma imo considering I'm not trying to comment whore. --- i dont like signatures <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:893310877] in How do you...

pinky0926 01/02/18 6:56:02 PM #7:	A downvote doesn't mean your comment is wrong. It means that someone else on the internet didn't like what you wrote and they petulantly smashed that dislike button because they felt impotent to do anything else about it. Think about a climatologist on a flat earth subreddit. They'd be downvoted so hard the mods would delete their shit and ban their account. The other phenomena I've observed a lot is how comment downvotes/upvotes come in waves of approval. People will be more likely to downvote something that already has 1 or 2 downvotes. Similarly, they'll wait for a further comment from someone else disagreeing before choosing to downvote. People are bitches who need others to validate their opinions before they fire on them. That's the reason why you don't take it personally. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. http://i.imgur.com/ILz2ZbV.jpg <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:893311090] in How do you...
