It seems 'correct' PerlMonks behavior to: Explain why you're downvoting a node, rather than just downvoting it
Ah, imagine a world were you didn't have to worry about such things. Where precious bytes wouldn't be wasted on lines like "I downvoted your post." Where such sentences wouldn't result in 8 more posts of petty insults. A world in which we could just focus on the discussion, uninhibited by "experience points" and the trolls who seek them. A world in which maybe, just maybe, we could actually work together to accomplish a project...
Oh wait, we have that. I guess I'll be leaving now. I suggest you do the same.
