When certain comments get consistently downvoted, that’s not someone not liking your post.

What law of physics or probability prevents a comment from consistently getting downvoted due to a disagreement in opinion?

None, but downvoting because of a disagreement makes you an asshole, so that still tells you stuff about the community, or at least those active in certain threads.

There is no consistency. I have a comment at -2 right now. Over the past few days it oscillated between positive and negative scores. Someone replied to it and my response is currently +6.

In those cases its multiple people consistently disliking your posts. This doesn't necessarily make their downvotes any more valid or intelligent, or the post not worth seeing.
