I will admit to having strong downvoted a number of critical posts, while having upvoted others, in order to create an incentive gradient to produce better criticism.
If we start getting less criticism, then I’ll default towards overvoting criticism more.
If it makes you feel any better, there also seems to be a cadre who downvotes certain critical posts soon after they are made.
(I do not get an alert on anyone’s posts, by the way)
