I'm surprised that I got a downvote on this comment. I think that illustrates the problem.
Sometimes when I've said something perfectly reasonable and then gotten downvoted, I've realized that in fact my statement was unclear and liable to be misunderstood. The downvotes have helped me to write more clearly, and they're more charitable than rude rejoinders.
[I didn't downvote you. Your statements were perfectly reasonable to me.]
