That's fine, but it was more about necroing an old conversation, which is often frowned upon.

Okay, but that doesn’t explain why you replied to a two-year-old comment and apparently expected a response.

Edit: Sniped.

And speaking about contributing something of value, how do these comments contribute?

Those have plenty of downvotes too. They’re just outnumbered by the upvotes. There’s no rule saying bad comments can’t be upvoted.

If you really think you’re being targeted, ask a mod or admin to look into it. They can see who downvoted what. But it’s most likely random users. The best thing to do is just move on.

Also, read the posts above if you haven’t already. They do a pretty good job explaining things.
