Downvotes aren't comfortable to receive. They're in fact typically pretty disheartening, and it can be frustrating to see them accumulate without explanation. However, I want to make sure one thing is clear - people are downvoting content. They do not have any qualms with the individual behind the content. If at all this dissipates and they start targetting you, that is when it turns wrong and we should be taking action. That is what happened with the serial downvotings that we've reversed.
