I realize that Galts Gulch is a self control site t.e. one that relies on the members to maintain a reasonable level of civility. I am just about to the point of uncivility. There is at least one ,e,ber of the community that takes it upon himself (or herself) to 0 comments that they do not like. This is without attribution or comment.
I don't mind my posts being decremented or blistered by someone who thinks they are unusally stupid even for me. I do mind the pattern of decrementing without comment or attribution. I'm not sure who this has happened to but I know there is at least one other person in the community that this happens to with great regularity,
For the record, 4 of my last 5 posts were set to 0 . They were all political in nature, refledting negatily on Mrs William Clinton. I think there is a pettern emerging here. If you don't like the post, resp0ond to it with why it is wrong or incorrect. Have the courage of your convictions.
I thought of offer a bounty for the name of the person doing this (1 yer Membership _ but decided not to. It would stop him,.her. They could just switch ID's and continue.
So to whomever is doing this --I'll keep on posting and you can keep on zeroing..
NOt sure what category this belons in so I'll punt.

    Evening before last me dino saw several zeros in New. Thought it unusual and mentioned it in Ask The Gulch.
    There are zero zeroes in New at this posting point in time.

    When I upvote I generally note it as the last line of my post. Even if I just upvote I post a +1. I always post if I down vote. . Only done it once.

    This could be due to non-right handed people scrolling down on their cell phones.

    It is probably a conspiracy.Why do think they are called " lefties"?

    Seriously, checking Galt's on a touch screen has resulted in me accidentally muting some comments, but I always put them back.

    I think the downvote should be for spam, very misleading posts, or just cheap "you're stupid" type insults. I did not downvote any of your posts. It would be nice if votes were public.

    The other side of the coin is it would be nice if upvotes were public too.
