Quite - but it unfortunately screws it up more, I think, than the odd downvote.
A bad article with a high vote does two things: Makes people less likely to trust the ratings, and (I believe) intimidates potential low-voters from voting low.
A good article with one or two down votes makes no difference - except to the mighty egos of the author.

The moral of the story is, if you want to down vote John, do it properly!

I can take criticism, but this kinda crap is pointless and doesn't serve a purpose.

It's not CP to have problems, it the users and the singular sensitivities on both giving votes and receiving them.
CP has a nice way to evaluate votes so that spurious ones aren't counted in the average, so some guy like that is still tolerable in the gneral economics of the site.
I admit I bat-hurt when some of my posts are downvoted or reported as abusive, still I can't do anything about that and it doesn't really damage my rep or anything...

John, you whine a lot man. Come on man, grab your pair and accept that there are always gonna be annoying people online no matter where you go. Just tell him to F off, ignore him, or do whatever. No need to come to the lounge about it.

Anyone taking time off?
Off to Lebanon tomorrow for a two week vacation. Haven't been back in ten years. Please keep the chatter to a minimum so that I don't have too much to read when I come back.
Thank you!
Please resume your regularly scheduled banalitities.
It was a typo, but it looked sounded better.
