Hmm, I say, hmmm.
On the subject of downvoting, my best advice is: what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
It is, after all, the ONLY existing way I know currently of showing Lady Checkmate that you disagree with her, hate her guts, and that she’s full of shit, which SHE CANNOT CENSOR. Of course, it has to be a completely anonymous account which she can’t see in anyway otherwise she bans you and then you can’t downvote. But I know she hates those downvotes with a passion and privately seethes with anger that she can’t do anything about them. Which makes them great fun.
Likewise, it’s therapeutic to downvote Amos when he’s said something incoherent or Guest Verified when he’s trying to goad you into saying something angry with a smirking insult.
