Dude, never complain about votes.

I agree with you, at least in principle, but once you start making edits because of votes, you lose ground. Restate, explain, whatever, but just don’t bring votes into it. All that does is create an adversarial situation that may well not happen otherwise.

You take the downs votes and the up votes as they come, and deal with them without referencing them. You’ll have a much better experience if you stick to that, I promise.
