Agree. And not just for my own posts. I see downvoted posts like parent's and think that it's no worse than several other comments on this page that aren't downvoted.

Another example is the ubiquitous person who posts on some story complaining about the CSS or that the font of the page is bad design. That person never seems to get downvoted despite being flagrantly off-topic.

The only constant seems to be that comments spouting very popular truisms ("patents are bad", "functional languages are good") garner lots of upvotes.
