I commented separately before I noticed the meta edit to this comment. I was going to write another comment admonishing people downvoting Caleb’s reply here, but instead I’ll just say that I strongly agree with Zach’s take here, and that I have pretty bad feelings right now toward the people who downvoted Caleb’s comment (post-unendorsement) and reply.
This is speculating about hidden motives in a way I feel uncomfortable about, but I have a bad feeling there might be some political downvoting here, where people are downvoting the comments because they want people outside the community who this post to see that those comments had negative karma. I hope I’m wrong about that; but it matches a pattern I’ve seen on other Forum posts connecting to external partisan politics. If I’m not wrong about it, I very strongly condemn it.
