How do you know I down-voted anything? I actually haven't down-voted anything attached to this story.

I will downvote something I don't agree with if I think it's not well-reasoned, or too knee-jerky, or otherwise just dilutes the discussion.

Because I got something like -4 just after your horrible ad-hominem comment.
