I’ve upvoted most of Holocron’s comments on this thread. They’re not perfect, but I think they deserve a better response than this. (My votes were based on comment quality, not just because I wanted to reverse downvotes.)
Mass-downvoting everything a person writes is against the Forum’s rules. If you disagree this vehemently with someone, explain why (in more detail than “this person’s content is toxic” — I’ve read all of their comments and I have no idea what you mean).
I’m discussing this comment with our moderation team to see if we want to take further action.
Sometimes, when someone believes they perceive ill-intent of a certain character, they will react very strongly, so if they are wrong, this can be very inappropriate.
Thanks Aaron, I’m happy to see this is an actively enforced community norm. I must admit that not knowing that it was a norm, in I did downvote comments in response, then subsequently propose a monitoring system (or even a system warning against this as it’s being done). Will undo (or feel free to undo on my behalf) downvotes.
If you have feedback on making comments more great, please let me know!
I’ll leave your votes to you — we don’t actively remove votes unless the circumstances are extreme (e.g. removing all votes from a sockpuppet account someone used to upvote their own content).

My behavior above was a major mistake.
Sometimes, when someone believes they perceive ill-intent of a certain character, they will react very strongly, so if they are wrong, this can be very inappropriate.
I won’t be on the forum for a while.
Thank you for your generous efforts.
