... does not explain anything here.
1. This guideline does not explain the downvote of internaut's comment.
2. This guideline does not explain the downvote of my initial comment, where I complained about another person being downvoted, not about myself being downvoted (which I wasn't at that point in time).
3. This guideline does not explain the situation after my EDIT. Although it violated that guideline, it did not receive heavy downvotes, but received multiple upvotes instead.
