Thank you for the advice Griff. I will do that and continue answering. Decided to wait and see. I dont want to gather reputation . I just wanted to help people from my knowledge and improve my knowledge as well by answering. I can accept down votes of he has put a comment on that. Then I can think of issue of the answer.

That's why I don't downvote often, and almost always leave a reason.
I'm not fond of the "attitude" that anonymous downvotes and abuse reports generates. Authority without responsibility is never a good idea

Yes, I know you are a good adviser. And I have got tons of things from your advises if you remember those. I always accepted and think about what seniors say. You have up voted my answers some times and I realy appriciated and very glad on them. But annoyed down votes are really give bad feelings on me. Any way will see. He is not a new member any way. He is weighted 2 and giving me -4 when voting.  . I will give up he might get tired one day. Thank you for caring.

-4 is trivial - it's a low rep voter. -16 is a medium-to-high rep downvote (I have a number of those  )
Ignore it - it's probably just someone who didn't like your answer to him and is getting "his revenge" as best he can.
It's not as if rep points could be exchanged for beer tokens! (But I wish they could be)

So use your influence and urge Chris to change it! When you try to downvote an article you MUST comment if it 3 or below! We need the same in QA!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I've tried (as have many others) - his feeling seems to be that naming people encourages retaliation and feuding.

Contact the administrator(s) and ask them to look. IMHO this kind of behavior is unacceptable.
At least this guy should be a man and combat you using comments or arguments, not stalk voting.

Thank you for replying Amarie. I decided to wait and see. I just wanted to help others and improve my knowledge as well according to their common problems. He will stop that when he wants.

Simply ignore and go ahead. Please don't argue, you will loose your time and patience.

It's me. I am actually a spy from, well, a concurrent site, and every other day, I choose a brilliant soul on CP and downvote everything he posts. It is kind of tedious, because brilliant people tend to be quite numerous here, but I hope I will get the bests' reputation ruined at some point of time.
The other part of my job is to approve crap articles and upvote them. This is also not easy, because I have to go and read things that make my eyes bleed.
I have two colleagues who go through computer science homework books and copytype questions from there in the Q&A section, after doing some Google translate English->Klingon->French->English. Thank god, the translation is now automated using a clever VB6.0 script running in an Excel97 Spreadsheet on our Vista machine (the real machines are used by our numerous community managers, so we are left with the rest). Creating accounts with fake Indian or Eastern European forenames takes most of the time, though, as well as rereading the posts to get the intelligible English sentences out that survived the translation script.
My boss also shows up from time to time, choose randomly a CP regular, spam-vote all his recent posts using sixteen different accounts to get him banned, and angry. If he succeeds, he celebrates by picking up a post in the Lounge or the Soapbox (bad jokes are usual suspects), and reposts it with an adequate title ("I bet you have never heard this one").
So far, we have not succeeded much in bringing chaos, but we are happily helped by some folks who do all this naturally, or even posts some cryptic clues or quotes or pictures of spray-can-painted stars landscapes, neither of which we have ever understood, so I keep faith.

Alas not, because the guy who was posting videos of advertisements, PHP tutorials and Lotus Notes advanced user conferences on CPTv has now been reassigned to the one open position we had - I am not sure what he does exactly though, IIRC it has something to do with global warming posts. He also drinks a lot of gin, hangs printed sheets stating "CP rules N.xxx", aims darts at a plush hamster during his breaks.

Well, creating chaos is a big job, but somebody has go to do it; otherwise we'd never appreciate beauty, or have aesthetic feelings.
Wish I could help in some way other than the verbose insanity I am often posting now. If you and your staff care to go for a retreat to Thailand, I know some places that might be inspirational.

I much appreciate your assistance, Bill. I haven't had time recently to properly stir the pot here, and it's good to have competent rabble-rousing help we can rely upon.

If your answers are right and accepted by users also then its wrong thing that any one down vote your posts And I seen that many people taking it on joke side but its not good, How can any one ignore that if he is answering right and others down vote his answer just for FUN, As per my view CP has to track that user and take needful step for that. And I seen many people are saying just ignore it its wrong no one can ignore it.
