We have a right to confront our accusers (so to speak). If you're going to downvote, without an intellectually honest reply, then you're just a coward that doesn't want to backup where they're coming from.
There should also be an option for a "reply to all" if there is more than one downvoter, so you can confront all the downvoting shills....or, be proven wrong by them and delete your post, once you've realized you were in the wrong.
I don't really know either, but at LEAST you voiced your disagreement with me, instead of just downvoting and moving on...but that doesn't surprise me. We've interacted before (on the same side, though).
