That's not hypocrisy. People who support moderators rights to ban people from their community for mass downvoting aren't saying no-one should ever downvote, and that all bans for downvoting are automatically justified.
Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts.

Just funny you are serial downvoting in defence of banning people for serial downvoting :D
Let me guess, hypocrisy is only cool when you do it.

This post is about threelon banning multiple people for downvoting one (1) time on one (1) post.
And it is hypocrisy, along with a helping of poor reading comprehension apparently. If you disagree with this post, you would actually have been banned several times by now lol.
But seeing as you are talking about my other post, how many times do you believe a user should be allowed to disagree before it warrants a ban for disagreeing too much?

Yes, I know what the post is about. I'm just talking about generally here. You can downvote, and still be in favour of public upvoting and downvoting.
But seeing as you are talking about my other post, how many times do you believe a user should be allowed to disagree before it warrants a ban for disagreeing too much?
That's a false premise regarding my position. It's not about any particular number or specific threshold being met. I think it's reasonable for a community moderator to ban someone who never contributes to the community but instead just downvotes anything on the page. Especially if its a small community trying to grow. There are people on my communities now that downvote, but they also interact and also upvote, and they just downvote everything. So it's whatever.

Downvoting is contributing, just in a way you apparently don’t like.
You should step down as a mod. Also please leave me alone, we have already had this conversation, and I made myself very clear.

I downvoted your comments because I’m petty and it’s fun and it doesn’t matter very much. We started out all high minded and now we’re here, in the mud, slinging mud, like the Jacobins. So you win. Here’s a box of wheat starch for your 'do, live it up.

No I agree, your vote is yours and there’s no bad vibes from me for using it how you see fit.
But I mean, come on, can’t you see the joke in down voting several of my comments all at once, because you don’t agree with my opinion that down voting several things at once is actually fine to do?
Either way, I wasn’t trying to get your hackles up, so sorry if I did.
