MODERATORS
Inferring that info is maybe not as straight-forward as you're assuming.
As for being called out, it was a dick move in response to a dick move. I'm surprised you guys aren't more robust in the face of someone disagreeing with you.
Maturity is the ability to disagree with respect.
Mature? Like downvoting a post asking why something is being downvoted? Like responding "Because I don't want to" when asked why you don't just block a bot?
There's no way these things are more mature than just doing what we should all be doing: just scrolling past. There's rarely any need for downvotes, and the idea that we're just supposed to guess what you mean by them is ludicrous.
Downvotes are supposed to represent anything worse than aphathy which includes mild discontent. It's not like it takes much more effort to click one button before scrolling past anyways. You're treating this like they leave a comment talking about how much they hate the daily threads.
