yeah this was wierd because honestly I don't see how he got his take from what I wrote and I did not get other replies bent our of shape about it. I have reread my initial comment and there is kinda an outside chance you could take the term "worse situation" and apply worse to be about some othere spot in it, if you get the word order stuff messed up in the head. I suppose it could be a pile on effect.
The down votes were others who had the same or a similar take. If you get one reply that explains clearly why they think your take is terrible and you get a dozen down votes and they get a dozen up votes it is safe to assume a dozen people agree with the person who replied and didn't feel the need to repeat the same point. Even if their reply has less, it just means some people disagreed and didn't bother replying.
It is the same as up votes being higher than the number of replies. There isn't a need for everyone to post 'same' just because they agreed.
