Once in a while I stumble on an answer that has a mini-rant at the top, often as the result of an anonymous down-vote. Sometimes these rants are just a sentence, but other times they stretch to a paragraph or two, sometimes even with formatting (bolded and italicized sections).

Personally I think they don't belong, but should I take it upon myself to remove the rants? Should I flag the answer? Leave a comment about the inappropriateness? Just do nothing?

Here's an example of such a rant, apparently added after there was a downvote or two (linking to a revision, in case it has been removed in the latest version):

all Keen DownVoter-s are welcome, however please do keep StackOverflow Netiquette which promotes cooperative style of work here -- so kindly express your reason ( yes, state an argument, post your improvement and add facts behind an opinion that you down-voted for ). Un-argumented downvoting is a poor practice in highly educated society, that StackOverflow Community strives to be. Thanks for your kind consideration.
