Well, mass down-voting? I don't see it! HE got criticised, sure. But I would say that his attitude in repsonding to a post was not helpful either.
Nobody deserves respect, they earn it. I have had posts downvoted. In retrospect, I earned the downvote. Some people don't like what merlyn has to say at times, they say so, downvote him and life goes on. Abigail-II can be a crusty curmudgeon, but also delivers some of the most concise and insightful answers on the site. Does the criticism send them away? No!
If a monk wants adoration he can either earn it or go somewhere else in search of it. The XP system does nothing to force anyone away. People make their own determinations on where to hang out.

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
are good places to start.
