I get unreasonably annoyed at seeing posts get downvoted just because they don’t fit the mainstream opinion, especially if the author clearly put in a lot of effort to articulate their views. Bonus points if there are zero replies too.

Anyone who downvotes like that is just lazy, close minded and cowardly. It’s sad that it happens so often.

This frustrates me to no end. If someone can type out a long comment explaining their position, the least you can do is reply with why you disagree, in addition/instead of hitting the downvote.

Yeah, I tend to upvote in this situation, even when I disagree.
