Normally I don't like posts bashing people's intelligence, but this one says I am smart, so I'll let it pass.

This is one of those thing where "I didn't think we had to prevent someone from doing this since we never thought someone would do this."

I always thought a downvote was just a silent "Booooooooooo!"

It's like how people in an information bubble post something and get encouraged by all of the people who think that same way, but the majority of people are actually against the idea.
