Apr 4, 2013 at 13:45 comment added Andrew B If you're worried about downvotes being taken the wrong way, leave a constructive comment. And on the receiving end, if you think a Q/A has received a prohibitive number of downvotes and want to "start over", then delete and do just that. (provided that you are in fact starting over from scratch with what you've learned)

Apr 3, 2013 at 21:17 comment added Andrew B @Kenny True enough, but I'd still prefer a downvote to someone being rude if they really disapprove of something. That's mostly what I was trying to get at.
Apr 3, 2013 at 21:16 comment added Kenny Evitt "... let your downvote do the talking" – or just let the lack of your upvote do the talking!
