It’s not this comment that started it, I made this comment well after it had already started.
And besides, being called arrogant is extremely unlikely to offend any of us. We are arrogantly aware of and enjoy our arrogance. We do not really consider arrogance to be a negative personality trait, necessarily. It depends on context to become negative.
Oh I meant non-Americans annoyed at how matter-of-fact we are about being arrogant may be going after you, but it’s speculation and sounds like it’s not the case based upon your further context
Ah, I see. Yes, I suppose I could see that. But yeah, the rest of it makes it unlikely. I doubt any would be upset enough to turn some kind of script on that goes through and puts my recent comments, on one Instance only, into the negative.
Interestingly, they seem to have turned it off. Or it could be because the initial comment that I vaguely suspect did start it, where I called out a troll a few hours ago, has now been deleted.
I’ve been checking back in really regularly though, to track what was happening. It was about 1 downvote/10-15 minutes or so, going until the comments were between -1 and -6 votes, and keeping them there as other people upvoted. It seems to cap out at a certain threshold though, and a select few of my posts were ignored, or less-affected.
It was very interesting. I’m actually a little miffed it stopped, as I was planning some more proper experiments to learn more about it.
