> I downvoted your parent comment for misspelling Gandhi[0]

That's not a valid reason to downvote, unless you're sure they did it purpose as an insult. You could have just pointed out the error.

I pointed out why I downvoted. Not for the misspelling, but using a common incorrect spelling when making a confident assertion about the Indian independence movement. I am sure the commenter knows nothing about it, so I downvoted.
