Yeah . I was down voted because I asked a semi serious question. Awesome.

He's being downvoted because he's replying to obvious sarcasm as if it was serious. You also appear to have taken the joke seriously.

..down voted, hmmm, that was a serious comment.

I think people are downvoting you because they're assuming you're not serious. :(

I was trying to be funny, not serious. And thanks for the downvote!

Personally - even if the comment wasn't serious I am glad it received a serious answer which redeemed the original comment. Most of the time I choose to downvote low effort comments like semi-relevant quotes from pop culture, because it triggers my post-traumatic ticks from past reddit experience.

It's probably being downvoted because people (wrongly) think I meant it as a joke.

olalonde | karma 25101 | avg karma 4.21 · | 2010-12-16 23:16:34+00:00

For those who keep down voting, it was sarcastic.

danteembermage | karma 1485 | avg karma 4.56 · | 2011-05-10 23:19:53+00:00

I chuckled, and clearly I should have known better from the URL, but I did downvote you to try to keep things serious around here.

mathias | karma 3588 | avg karma 12.86 · | 2010-07-12 16:42:11+00:00

So mine got downvoted? I should have added </sarcasm> there…

st0neage | karma 45 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2013-11-22 14:44:17+00:00

Actually that was meant to be a joke. Is that really a reason to downvote?

collyw | karma 8776 | avg karma 1.06 · | 2015-10-12 10:43:19

I love it when an honest question gets downvoted on here.

esarbe | karma 2226 | avg karma 1.79 · | 2020-04-16 09:29:06+00:00

I did a down vote on your comment because it's just trolling.

tripzilch | karma 4613 | avg karma 1.12 · | 2013-05-21 22:30:24+00:00

downvotes? I assumed he was making a joke? I normally try to not comment about voting, but in this instance I'm actually curious whether he was making a joke or not.

craftinator | karma 662 | avg karma 0.48 · | 2019-12-26 19:32:42+00:00

Downvoted for being funny.

wuliwong | karma 1401 | avg karma 1.26 · | 2014-09-21 00:53:17+00:00

hahah, apparently the people that down-voted my positive response to his comment. sheesh.

Dinoguy1000 | karma 219 | avg karma 3.48 · | 2012-06-13 21:39:44+00:00

What's with the downvote? I was being sarcastic. =/

ChrisMarshallNY | karma 26729 | avg karma 3.63 · | 2022-06-10 14:09:43

I'm sorry that got downvoted. It was a funny joke.

brianstorms | karma 1197 | avg karma 5.25 · | 2014-12-17 23:16:53+00:00

Aww I post a little humor and I get downvoted. Sigh.

duncan_bayne | karma 4002 | avg karma 1.91 · | 2013-12-02 05:04:35+00:00

Joking ... and getting downvoted into oblivion for it. Perhaps I struck a nerve? ;)
