Actually, I suspect this complaint itself that causes it. Especially combined with words and phrases that tend to inflame skepticism. It's a bit disingenuous to imply otherwise.

Today was the first time I ever complained about getting downvoted because I know it triggers HNers instantly.

Well that's (easily) verifiable as false, and the behavior is contrary to the guidelines regardless of any "trigger".

You are correct, I did mention it once more 22 days ago. Forgot about that one. Prior to that I've had thousands of comments here on HN in the last 10 years that I have not mentioned it in. And many have been downvoted within minutes or as I mentioned, more recently flagged.
