Its sometimes a fair complaint (if against HN guidelines) in an environment like this where you hope for a little bit more thought in when to down-vote.

Perhaps. But always off topic and almost always boring. When I think I’m unfairly downvoted, I just try to reply with more detail and accounting for more possible interpretations. Or I move on.
