If it were boring, you wouldn't feel obligated to respond.

There is so much wrong in one short post.

I didn't claim that I find comments on voting boring, I cited the guidelines.

I didn't feel obligated to respond, I felt it was useful and helpful to the community to respond.

Your argument is a non sequitur. If I did find a pattern of behavior boring, I might comment on it to discourage it to improve the overall quality of my experience of the site.

Fair enough - it's just an interesting, yet somewhat scary trend me and my friends have noticed.

Didn't even mention the name, and I assure you I've been downvoted, and not just a little :). Make it what you want
