Is it rude to interrogate downvoters?

I'm very curious about the reasoning different people use when deciding to downvote a post or comment. Often, when something gets "heavily" downvot…

I down-vote bad writing and spelling, sometimes. Comma splice is a huge one, but “emails” and “literally” can get a knee-jerk down-vote as well.

Punctuation is the text equivalent of prosody, the comma splice is not some “error” to be “fought against”, unlike what all those toilet paper manual styles literally screech against, they’re like those junk emails we get, comma splice is the equivalent of speaking fast and relatively uninterrupted, like I’m doing here, it’s a self-demonstrating example anyway, you probably get it, right.

…serious now. What you say in a discursive level IMO matters way, way more than how you say it.

The medium, apparently, is the message.

But I do love the oppositional/defiant “screeching” comment.

Nah. The medium interacts with the message, shapes it, but it is not the message itself.
