HAVE A DOWN-VOTE! --A big, fat, and ugly DOWN-Vote!

At this moment, you're probably mad and probably wondering what you did wrong as well as wondering if I'm just being an asshole. You're also looking at the score of your post and wondering why it is what it is; "Did he down-vote me and someone else up-voted me? Or is he just trying to make a point?"

I was just making a point, so no, I did not actually down-vote you. The thing is, you and many others have fallen, "For exactly the same traps marketers set." The trap, even if entirely fake, is the reason for the your initial anger, confusion and pondering.

This is an odd and harsh way of both supporting your point and refuting it. You are only human, so you'll get angry if you fall for a trap. None the less, you are correct; often the answer is to stop interacting with or buying from those who would try to trap you, but unfortunately, you do not always have the choice until after the fact.
