Perhaps the downvotes will encourage this person to be more eloquent when stating their opinions in the future. Then again, perhaps it will just cause them to rage.

Curiously it is (so far) my highest voted comment in nearly two months, so I guess others had the same reaction I did.

Can't argue with results! I wonder if a more verbose comment saying essentially the same thing would have been upvoted as much.
Now it's my highest rated comment for two-and-a-half years. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

My highest rated comment (~50 upvotes) was a pun with no intellectual value. It's one of those things that makes you realize upvotes are meaningless; I now generally restrict my upvoting to behaviors I want to encourage and comments that I want higher exposure for (push them upwards).
