If one doesn't see a terrible node as it happens

Downvoting a terrible node is perfectly acceptable. Downvoting 30 historical nodes by the same author in one fell swoop incurs a penalty (as proposed) and I'm fine with that.

    As am I. Seeking out a specific user's posts just to downvote them is a targeted attack, and is not a normal case of coming across a node or two in the course of searching for something.
