Are these downvotes from real people, do they read the post and say.... I am gonna downvote this cuz Guns scare me, or I don't like rainbow tye dye, or I hate Truck Drivers & Cats.... Lol

They are people, not bots and I'm not sure they can read or not. I don't know them and have never engaged with them. I don't believe they have ever read anything I've written or do I care if they do or not. I had someone ask me in a comment a while back if tarazkp and I were brothers and then the downvotes started so it might be related.

This post was strategically placed for reasons I'll not divulge and it has, indeed, done what it was intended to do. The downvotes will continue I'm sure, and if that's the case then no worries...if it stops then no worries. You know? Just like you not giving a flying fuck about 0.00 downvotes...A downvote is not worthy of much thought no matter the value of it.

As you can see by my post here I don't mind that it is happening; All it has done is increase my exposure to larger accounts who actively combat abusers...So, the results have been positive.
