A while back, I decided that if I got a downvote on a comment, I'd accept it as evidence that my comment was not well written or it did not add anything to the discussion or that I didn't clearly communicate my idea.

Based on that assumption, I started editing my comments to make them better. Then, I sometimes I would delete my comments. Both have been useful to me in trying to write better comments.

Good luck.
