> It also appears that you're downvoting my comments, since all of my comments deep in threads responding to you are at 0, and most of my others in these threads are positive. If that's not the case, do let me know, but it makes me uninterested in continuing this discussion with you.

No, I actually do not have enough karma to downvote and even if I did I do not believe a participant in a discourse has the right to do that. It would be counterproductive for me to do so.
