RE: The Politics of Negative Voting
This happened to me. I downvoted someone's comments who was overtly spamming on other people's posts, and he went to my blog and down-voted my posts =/

Happened to me earlier today.
I did what I can to help, but yeah. It's sad to see. Retaliatory flagging hurts real world reputation, but, unfortunately, doesn't hurt reputation here. I flagged a number of the offender's comments (explaining my reasoning as I did) and upvoted yours, but even though my reputation is high, I'm no a whale so my vote didn't really change anyone else's reputation. The offender will probably continue their retaliatory flagging unless a whale steps in.
@lukestokes I truly appreciate what you did -- you and @patrice. Good people.
