What did your comment add that the OP or the others replying to the OP didn't state previously?

An "I agree" or "hear, hear" should be downvoted.

He/she added:

- facts are sometimes downvoted - it's gotten worse

I don't like being negative, but if you had actually properly read and comprehended the comment rather than downvoting it, that would have been preferable. In fact this is a perfect example of why downvoting doesn't work properly.

PS, I've upvoted both your comments.
