Same. LOL.
I haven't really witnessed any shameful levels of "silencing" of an actual valid viewpoint. It's always some shill getting his shit pushed in that picks up the heavy downvoats.
I think it's fine if someone gets a "gentle twatting" from downvoaters if they're pushing a controversial line or being bad at making their point. I don't care about your "alternate viewpoints" shit. That's just code people use when they get pissed off their ideas aren't gaining traction. I'm not going to artificially buoy your poorly framed or poorly timed arguments for visibility, unless I find them interesting in the given moment or they're pissing somebody else off in an entertaining fashion.
