This user frequently posts blunt, somewhat strongly worded answers and is getting voted down repeatedly for them.
I've posted the most recent above, but a quick search can point out many others.
I've seen a pattern in what gets voted down when it is not actually a bad answer.
- An unpopular political opinion
- A blunt or harsh answer backed by real-life examples (as opposed to blunt or harsh for it's own sake
- A contrarian opinion.... I.E. one that goes against the grain of popular posts.
I would hate to see this become an echo chamber where any contrarian opinions are squashed, but I am starting to see the signs.
What can we do to address this? Or is this a non-issue and I'm worried about nothing?
