People are not allowed to disagree or not like? What's the downvote button even for then?

I also read a post about downvoted content being "buried", so I guess most people have their feed by Hot and that's why? And what would be wrong with that anyway?

New gang till death, I like my content chronologically.

ps: What was that site you could see your upvotes/downvotes? I'm curious about my ratio and how grumpy I have become.

edit: I should have been more clear, I'm talking more about mods being touchy. If a random user gets mad that he was downvoted, there's not much they can do, but there are mods banning people for downvotes lol

I take it as a point of pride. Someone went on record as being wrong about something. Every downvote is validation. I mean, upvotes sure, but I already know the thing I said is as elegant as it is correct. I don't need that reinforced. But a downvote? That's special. That's me being so right about something, that someone has gone out of their way to publicly humiliate themselves by indicating personal disapproval of my otherwise priceless seeds of wisdom. There is no better feeling in the world.
