@Isaac Please, it's probably not
us (i.e., the people in /dev/chat). Votes are anonymous,
even to moderators... and you should keep that in mind when considering how much they're worth. Not to mention that at least rep-wise, an upvote is worth 5 times as much as a downvote. So... don't worry about it. I have no idea why people are downvoting the question, it's weird, but... I doubt it's anything personal.
