I think even referring to a downvote as “evil” is way out of line.

You are being rational and just speaking your mind with emotion.

But someone sees “attack” or “evil” and then they use it to justify terrible on chain actions.

I’m not even sure downvotes is necessary but it’s a functionality and not using it because of the way people have framed downvotes is a mistake in my opinion.

Thanks for the last part about downvoting extractors. That's usually where I stand with some exceptions.
