There are certain persons who downvote at the slightest provocation or inclination.

It would be impossible to tell without running analysis queries as to who and what causes such behavior.

I should point out your comment is “frumpy” with a dash of “cringe”. Could it be that your comments are laced with a condescension which draws negative response?

Many times I upvote grey comments that are not offensive or extremely bad, even if I disagree.
