I grew up watching The Simpsons, "don't have a cow man" or "you are having a cow" is simply a pop culture reference for me. Similar to how I have said in the past, "don't make a mountain out of a molehill", which is a variant of the old idiom. In other words a single vote means almost nothing with regards to the big picture, unless multiple votes follow, but that single vote also should be taken as a small hint that there might be a problem.

| Feb 7, 2017 at 13:32 | comment | added | user477799 | @Ramhound Again, that's far less often the case than you are probably imagining. The downvote itself: I have no way of knowing it was you. Your first comment: I have always thought it deserves a response. What happens next: One time you responded by recanting your comment and the vote count went up. Happy ending. In one other time, you said I am having a cow. Yes. I got upset. In our latest interaction, your comment was unfair, but since the OP gave me an upvote, I can't complain. I got +8 rep total. | |
| Feb 7, 2017 at 12:48 | comment | added | Ramhound | @FleetCommand You are clearly upset about the votes you received, and while I question the reason you think all of those votes were me, I still apologize. If your going to say I do something, and the say something about being neutralized, then you can't say your feelings are not hurt | |

| Feb 7, 2017 at 10:07 | comment | added | user477799 | @fixer1234 That's what I call an answer. Come on, now; post it as a reply instead of a comment and I'll give you the tick mark. | |
| Feb 7, 2017 at 10:02 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @FleetCommand, asking about an unwise action isn't one of the things downvotes are intended for. If a Google search would show dozens of explanations on the first page that you would have to be nuts to do it, a downvote for lack of research might be warranted. The question is clear, so that probably wouldn't be a downvote reason. The last downvote reason is whether the question is useful. Consider that a question about a stupid, dangerous practice could be useful to other novices, especially if it attracts a good answer. It might be a candidate for an upvote. | |
| Feb 7, 2017 at 7:52 | comment | added | user477799 | @Ramhound Of course you didn't find it in my rep log. I deleted the answers. (And the first time I did, it earned me a Peer Pressure achievement!) That said, my message doesn't have the word "unjustly". It was a statement of the fact: You downvoted. Should I too? Somehow, however, you think that I must think that just because you downvote a lot, you must be a bad person. Well, I don't think so. Life is not a fight and we are not here to hate each other. At least, I don't hate you. Do you hate me? | |
| Feb 7, 2017 at 3:11 | comment | added | Ramhound | @FleetCommand if you believe I have unjustly voted one of your answers down then I apologize. | |
| Feb 7, 2017 at 2:52 | comment | added | Ramhound | @FleetCommand I took a look at every one of your reputation changes, that took place over a year and half, and only one was because of my vote. I accept your apology. | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 18:33 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | Whatever. I stand by my comment and edit. | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 18:31 | comment | added | user477799 | @DavidPostill There is a difference between a "neutral" and a "neutralized" question. | |
