What makes you think being intentionally hostile toward someone would persuade them to vote? Wouldn't it make more sense to try and educate? I said I was being cheeky, but even now you can't resist calling me a liar. I really wish you wouldn't, you know, I'm pretty easy to get along with, I tolerate other peoples opinions even when they disagree with me. I vote and I do much more than that.

If anyone is trying to shame, it is this group who descended on me within a 5 minute period with a flurry of down votes and open hostility. I'm genuinely sorry you're upset about the state of the world, I'm upset too. so why should we try to upset each other more? It doesn't make sense.

FYI that isn't me down voting you. I don't use down votes.
