      Yeah, I found people always made a bigger deal out of that than it really was. I think folks just assume other people are having trouble even though they didn’t personally.

      Some places had a thousand karma before being able to comment or post, that’s not an easy hill to climb, especially if you say the wrong thing somewhere and people take offense to it for no reason.

        I love how in these examples it’s always “for no reason“ and yet we never see the context.

          Well it’s for no real good reason I should say, why is it always just the fourth comment in a chain that gets downvoted, because of the tropes and circlejerks.

              Expanding on some needed context I thought. Or were you agreeing that sometimes there is seemingly no reason?

              Now I’m confused.

                I was just trying to understand how you wanted me to respond to that comment, nothing nefarious or anything. You had a “why“ statement with no ? then a statement after, so I was just trying to make sure I was understanding you correctly and respond appropriately and such. Just your typical “lost in translation“ with text formats.

                  Ah, sorry that makes sense now, was asking a rhetorical question and answering it. There is of course a reason, but that reason may just be silly, so to a large portion of people it would be for seemingly no reason.

                  Covering all bases, and yes it would be confusing, that’s kinda the point, since there really isn’t a reason for some of the mass downvotes.
