Well, I have nothing against that. I just wondered why they are surprised that others don't find it so interesting? And bearing in mind that I may miss something I asked for clarifications. Should I be hated for that enough to be kicked out of the community (b/c that's what basically downvotes do)?
I didn’t downvote you, but your comment was probably downvoted because it comes across as rude and dismissive and somewhat like a teenager trying to impress a crowd with how cool he is for not caring.
I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm not qualified enough to counter that, you may know better. But didn't the thing that is was a question not a statement change something in the reasoning?
A downvote is not hate.
you've conveniently missed the main idea: it eventually expels a person out of the community
No, it really doesn’t. If you feel shunned or “expelled” then that is entirely within your own mind. Only you can change your mind.
