Taste my righteous wrath and because I can do it with one click without explaining why means I don't need to and the internet is on my side. Feels like the implicit meaning when I'm downvoted.

The latter. If it's just disagreement a quick reply is best, and sometimes it gets worked out just fine.

Hmm interesting question never thought about it, maybe both/varies from post to post
I generally don't downvote unless somone is being bigoted or hateful.
I am not some teacher grading essays and giving points for good structure.
That's exactly my point. You are not the ultimate judge of what is good and what is bad. I'm not telling you to upvote things you disagree with, I'm simply telling you to not downvote unless it's clearly not relevant.
All of your comments on this thread are good comments that I disagree with. Sometimes, disagreement leads to growth.
