Dec 19, 2023 at 9:49 comment added Karl Knechtel I don't think the community actually rejected the idea that people should be entitled to an explanation for downvotes. They only reject that it's feasible to mandate providing such an explanation.

Feb 21, 2022 at 17:09 comment added Konrad Rudolph Going on, none of your other assertions are correct either. I do not claim that we mustn’t moderate questions, or that doing so is somehow rude, and putting this claim into my mouth is frankly bizarre: it’s completely contrary to my actions on Stack Overflow. I’ve also already made it clear that I do not think that downvotes are fundamentally rude, so it’s unconstructive of you to reiterate this claim.
Feb 21, 2022 at 17:06 comment added Konrad Rudolph “the question you link to is a duplicate by your own admission” — No, it emphatically isn’t, and you’re quoting my text out of context to support this claim. In particular, “a better duplicate” doesn’t say that this would be “a good duplicate”. But even if we accept that this would be a good duplicate, that is completely besides the point, since the question wasn’t closed as a duplicate of that question. In other words: if the situation had been completely different you might be right.
