"Predictable" like a stereotypical person who expects down-votes when they know what they're saying isn't going to be appreciated.

In other words, you're continuing this for your sake and not for others' at this point. So, for everyone's benefit - including yours - save your time and just stop.

At least this way I get to call people out for mindlessly downvoting shit into oblivion that they don't agree with.

Yeah, sure you can call them out.

It doesn't mean that's what they're doing.

I don't appreciate your tone in the edit, and that's why I down-voted you. Was it mindless of me to do so? No. Your edit contributed nothing to the discussion and was just a propagation of negativity.

Is down-voting your opinion on the situation of the gif fair? Yes, it's fair. Is it necessary? No, of course it's not necessary.

I'd say that /u/Fake_Credentials observation was a good reason to say why you're wrong. Does being wrong mean you ought to be down-voted? No, not really.

But being insulting does.

As a final note: your "impression" could be improved on by looking at it more thoroughly. If you'd been more conclusive and figured that the kitten was perfectly fine, though initially you'd thought otherwise, then you were more likely to be in a good position.

But hey, apparently I'm just an asshole - with an opinion himself. Cheer up, and have a pleasant day. Here's some Bob Ross, because he's awesome.
