  • I try to reserve downvotes for things that I think have negative value. If I simply don’t like something, I ignore it and move on; just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean that it lacks value for others. If I don’t understand something, and it’s important enough for me to act on, I’d rather have a discussion and learn.

    I’ll downvote posts that don’t fit the purpose of a community, or which were clearly posted to start an arguement. I’ll downvote comments that are insulting, inflammatory, or otherwise malicious.












  • I’ve noticed this as well, where I can’t listen to something with words (podcast, someone talking, TV show, etc) while doing a crossword or other word puzzle. I never really broke it down to realize that it’s likely because the part of my brain that processes language is completely incapable of multitasking.

    I also have to avoid music with words while working; I’ll end up typing out the lyrics to the song instead of the email response to a user that I’m supposed to be composing.
