Sometimes people down vote for no reason. Unfortunately, when one complains about it, they look like a whiner.

That's because they are whining about worthless internet points.

They're asking about a reaction. "What did I say wrong?" is a valid question IMO, even if wrong is subjective, it's part of the question.

Yes thank you! Wouldn't you be confused to see someone getting offended or angry that you have said text editors are beautiful things?

Yes perhaps, but that doesn't mean I need to care why or that I can demand someone explain themselves.

Let it go and you'll feel better!
