There are reasons other than "I disagree with your specific comment" that a person might be downvoted.

And do you know something about Victoria's firing that everyone else doesn't? Do you know why she was fired?

Including, but not limited to, "I hate this person so will downvote everything and anything they say."

Which makes you a disagreeable person if enough people hate you enough to downvote anything you say.
