I'm well aware of the "complaints about downvotes beget downvotes" meme and was expecting it here, but sometimes I am genuinely curious about the nature of the disagreement. Here I really just wanted to learn what people think the actual etymology is. I get and appreciate "I don't find this contribution helpful", but I really dislike a "I think you're factually wrong but can't be bothered to correct you" downvote.

As an aside, I wonder when "please don't make a quote from the HN commenting guidelines the only contribution of your comment" will join that list...
