But I do bother about getting - votes for a particular node. It's like you're a chef and when you see disgruntled expressions on your patrons' faces, you wonder whether there's something wrong with the food. You wonder because you care about what you cook.

To follow this example, it's like you're a chef and just put a new meal on the menu. After cooking it for your customers, you got two customers telling you they didn't like it too much (possibly 'cause it wasn't something new at all, for those customers had eaten the same thing at least 5 times before at this restaurant). Your first response seems to be to talk to those customers. "How can you not like my new meal? It's good!" and even worse, you tell all the other customers that come in to the restaurant later they'd better like it, for you say it's a good meal. Surprisingly, 18 customers even tell you the like it after that rude cheff appearance.

Just accept that not everyone likes your meal, but in this specific case, more people seem to like than dislike it. Telling people what to think of your meal usually doesn't work too well ;-)
