Rare? I could site a few posts, not including those in CB, in which others have braved the wrath of the Perlmonks anti-Wassercrats establishment and told others they shouldn't have downvoted me, and I'm not talking about just a couple of downvotes. I'm talking about record breaking numbers, no matter what the content of my post was.

Here's the latest example. Just two downvotes, but two too many. Enough time has past, so we could consider the polls to be closed.

...better explain again that I'm not Wassercrat. I linked to his post instead of my reply.
