I presume you are referring to the node Code Blocks. I think you are being overly paranoid. Some observations:
- Was there evidence of a conspiracy for mass downvotes? Even if some were tuned in to the CB at the time, this would not account for the number of votes.
- The votes occurred against a single node. Conducting a vendetta against a person would involve a spread of downvotes against all their writeups, and I don't see evidence of this happening.
- What kind of vote do you give to a node that you don't agree with? In my case, especially with monkdiscuss nodes, I downvote if I think that the poster has missed the point. This is where I believe the bulk of the downvotes have come from, not some ritualistic cabal.
- ptkdb is a Friar, not a spring chicken. As such, he should understand the finer points of the monastery and should not get upset if an idea on PM Discuss is shot down in flames (and downvotes). I would still be very surprised if he stays away from the monastery.
- I notice that many people on this thread are posting as anonymonks. Perhaps, is this an indication of paranoia?
Come back paco, all is forgiven :).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
