Hmm, i guess i just don't understand the downvote though. Ie, clearly the person who downvoted knows something i don't. I'd like to understand that!
It seems the person downvoting would rather me not view it (as it's not "constructive"), but i can view it.. and i am, yet how am i to know why the downvote was given? Is the author lying? Is it a spam link? Is the author wrong? etcetc
