I usually do my best to be kind to people and describe all my ideas and possible solutions to their problems.
At some point (I don't know when/how) I might have insulted someone, or at least I probably made him angry somehow, because for a time, I'm having a feeling that he keeps tracking my answers, and as soon as he sees one, no matter if it is useful answer or not, he downvotes it and starts to criticize with untrue arguments.
for example there is a question like:
"how to eat soup?"
as an answer I write:
"if possible do it with a spoon, but if you don't have one, try drinking it and give a feedback."
short after, this person appears, instantly downvotes my answer and comments that this is such a bad idea and how bad idea it is to "drink it".
I even saw him comment on other answers that "this is a much better idea than drinking" - (always the same person)
(sorry for my bad metaphor, best that came in my mind right now)
Even though I flag his comments and usually they are removed, it is not only weird but also annoying in a long term.
So what should I do to get rid of him, or make him stop?
Already tried reasoning with him but I had no luck.
Edit: To sum up things, downvotes most of the cases can be quite demoralizing, when You do the research, take the effort to try to help others, and some brusque user comes and because he had a bad day or he is just like this in life, takes the joy of helping away.
My suggestion is, that this should be modified, in order to downvote someone, users should be forced to leave a comment as a reason or at least some sort of feedback for the user. I do not say that their name should appear, I just want a reason...

Maybe you are right, but at least it helps the person to understand what he did wrong, so next time he will not.
