I already upvoted your first comment and just upvoted this one.

I wasn't telling you what your comment meant to you personally -- only you know that. I was telling you how it came across and likely the reason it was downvoted significantly. I think a lot of people here don't have a lot of time to give feedback when they see an off-putting comment. And usually if someone has a counter-argument they'll say something instead of downvote. It's a good rule of thumb to consider how a tweet comes across that you may not have meant if it is just downvoted and not replied to.



Thanks! I took your explanation as intended, from what I see. But I just had to express my surprise :)
