That feels unwarranted to me. My guess is the voter (who was not me) felt your comment didn’t add anything to the conversation. Id have to read the original post and comments to have a clear opinion on that. If true
that would be a valid reason for an ordinary downvote, but I would not downvote this for a user with a few comments. I standard upvoted to cancel some of that out.
