Do TROLLS just visit and selectively downvote all day?

...as I peruse old stuff, responses etc., to continue threads - I see all these mere (-1)'s; I re-read my posts, I know when I'm abrasive or blunt; but I also know when I'm in no way deserved of a down-vote on a great many things!

(-2) or (-6)'s I get it, I know when I aggravate or pick a fight...but normally, my stuff is usually pretty positive or of benefit; thought-provoking in this community...

I call deliberate sabotage; to discredit my words specifically - it's a billboard; kind of a message that reads "pass by this post, it's no good" ... downvotes with NO refutations/reasons really irritate me, so I suspect trolls...

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Down Voting is contagious!

I just did it. I wanted to see if I could make some comments collapse. Sorry friends, I couldn't help myself. :)

It could happen to you. It's happened to me.

The key is to ignore them.

The key is to ignore them. The voting is pretty meaningless for the most part anyway don't let it bother you just stay true to yourself and who cares about a few down votes on a post or if trolls want to play games down voting every post with a -1. They got a reaction out of you that is what they were looking for. Honestly I rarely look at the votes because I just don't care...

I would like to see a voting record when I check out member. This option could be available only to paid members. Which reminds me now that I'm working again it's time to gladly up my subscription level

I usually check out member profiles only when I suspect them of trolling

Submitted by vinceableworld on Tue, 03/12/2013 - 19:47. Permalink

I think usually a down-vote w/o comment comes from someone with some kind of vested interest that knows their position on the issue is not the right one.

So yeah I'd have to say they are probably trolls.
