anything other than a rosy-viewed expression of love or a dismissive expression of disregard for XP and voting automatically gets marked for special attention.

In my experience, the voting patterns affecting nodes concerning any matter related to voting/XP are about as irregular as the voting patterns affecting any other nodes. I wonder exactly what I've been missing for such a dissonance in perception to exist. Of course, there are rather loud minorities in each of the extremist camps about XP, so it wouldn't be hard for a typical node about XP to acquire a small handful of downvotes, much like as the discussions can get polarized very quickly as just seen. If you are talking about nodereps on the order of -10 and lower for the majority well-written nodes, though, then I have to wonder if we've been visiting the same Perlmonks. Err, gee, indeed.

Then again, since I expressed dissatisfaction with some trends in voting practices, I guess I'm automatically wrong and should "grow up".

What else could I have been referring to since I am out to squash dissent? I am so presumptuous and self-righteous that even the blind have to cover their eyes at my sight. Could you spend a second pondering whether your indiscriminate allusion that my and and anyone's downvoting a node talking about XP necessarily implies that it was done reflexively without thinking contributed to my disdain? Is there a possibility that you will drop the superlatives for a moment to think about whether their use may have been a factor in my dismissal?
