MODERATORS
I find it kind of ironic how you complain about downvotes while supporting democracy. I'm not saying whether I agree or disagree with you, I'm not saying either if I think you are right or wrong. But just like in a democracy votes represent the opinion of those who decided to vote. Being right won't mean you get the votes. You should just accept them and stop complaining about them.
No, adding something useful to the discussion should get you a vote. The fact that other idiots agree with you does not magically make your contribution thoughtful, or insightful, or productive in any other way.
