There is a small group that just likes to downvote everything for the fun of it. So I suppose they might be on.

I made a very funny comment about the film industry and cocaine and they downvoted it to hell, I think those groups have something against me

It seems like misplaced 'title guy' anger. They've gotta vent somehow.

How dare they downvote you?? You should only be downloaded if you mentioned snorting cocaine off of a dead strippers body.

*snorts row of cocaine* I NEVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT! THIS COCAINE MADE ME THINK A FILM SERIES BASED ON THAT ARTICLE WAS A REALLY GOOD IDEA!

Shouldn't you be combating this instead of complaining? Getting the commenters riled up with their votes?

When did you turn into FieldMarshalNancy-? ( :3 )

Is it bad that I knew exactly what was going to be under that spoiler tag? I swear, being in a long term relationship with a recovering/former heroin addict has given me a really weird sixth sense. I know where the needles are before I see them.

As for the downsides, I've noticed more on my end too and I don't typically draw the attention of the masses with my comments like some of you do.

Agh...

I always get down-votes for some reason.

Maybe it's because in reality I'm the worst person to ever live and yet you guys have tricked me into believing that I'm one of the good guys.

Maybe they're just dogs who feel offended that you haven't gotten around to loving them yet?
