I voted you up; then I realized I messed up so I voted you down, but it just turned out even because of it.

It doesn't work that way. When you change an upvote to a downvote, the tally goes down by two.

Once you've cast a vote on a post, you can't go back to a neutral non-voting status with that post.

@Frank Apisa,
Stick around Frank. If we can tolerate Ollie, C J, and Lash we can tolerate anyone. Good to see your ok. Had to edit the hell out of this post. Spell check drives me up the wall with its automatic corrections.

@bobsal u1553115,
What does "game ratings" even mean (in an a2k down-voting context)?

How do these guys do the metal/ethical gymnastics to ignore the nasty **** they lay on others.

Hey, Frank, wazzup, homey? As I recall I never got any explanation for my one year banning, except the statement that my "punishment" was more severe because I had been suspended before. Beyond that, it was suggested that there were a lot of people who wanted me banned. Specific reference was made to this former post of mine:

@Frank Apisa,

The do have that in their rules. An entire year seems pretty harsh though.

Vote drama is not welcome either (e.g. mass downvoting a user you're feuding with, or complaining at length about voting). Voting abuse will periodically be reviewed and users guilty of it will either be suspended or will have their votes stop counting.

Rules which they enforce selectively, if at all, eh? 32 downvotes in a thread few people were then participating could only result from what they are calling "vote brigrading" and "mass downvoting." I wonder if any of the 35 downvoters were suspended? I wasn't "begging" for downvotes. Well, except to the extent that the cheese-eaters think that anyone who doesn't agree with them is "begging for downvotes," and deserves to be banned, ya know?

In my case the post was cited to demonstate the point that the "crowd" didn't want me here, not because it was a supposed rule-violation.

@layman,
Well I enjoy your contributions. I hope both you and Frank can be enticed to stick around. You both make this a better place.

No. I am quite happy with my mind.

I wouldn't mind being wealthy too, but I have no complaints about the hand that life dealt me on the mental front.

@layman,
Of course that post was merely designed to demonstrate the "mob action" preferred by the lefties. There had to be a whole lot of PM-ing going back and forth to generate that kind of "mass downvoting."

They apparently made their "case" to the satisfaction of the hampsters. Banned by popular demand. Kinda like that Milo guy at Berkeley who made them do hundreds of thousands dollars of damage and beat people in the crowd to make sure his ideas couldn't be heard, eh?

I'd gladly trade you for Frank any day. At least he stays civil and provides documentation.

Your false accusations against me are dishonorable. I am civil towards people who are civil with me. And I always produce documentation upon request.
