in thread What's with all of the unnecessary downvoting?

I must whole-heartedly agree with Blue regarding necessitating a reply for a -- vote. When I write performance reviews for the people who work for me, I must document, often in gory detail, anything which they did... not so well. And, I must make suggestions on how they can improve. The HR department will not accept low scores without suggestions for improvement. Neither should we, as good monks.

Update: Thanks to all of the people who anonymously downvoted this post. I think it proves my point...
