I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

crashing out while no one is talking to you is so funny
Downvoting is communicating, just in a lazy coward way
Just like replying to a tangential topic to try and appeal to some high school level level value system instead of the actual content… There is always an audience online, and ‘posting’ is a way of communicating to everyone who reads it. Its more funny that you don’t know what a forum is or how it works, but you’re still trying to be clever lol no one here is actually ‘talking’.
Downvoting is communicating, just in a lazy coward way
It's a fundemental aspect of the medium, though. A bit of a stretch to call people cowards for interacting in the way the platform was designed around.
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit i take it….
Solely ‘downvoting’ with no expressed reasoning besides presumably being butthurt and as one person said ‘because it’s presented wrong’ is coward like. It was designed around comments, the vote system is one aspect and the least important one that, i don’t think you know what ‘fundamental’ means.
But, if it's not important, why are you so sensitive to it?
