It may be an example of getting dinged for style/motive as opposed to content (you’ve probably noticed how two commenters can say essentially the same thing, but the one with a prior reputation for bad faith/trolling gets downdinged, while the other commenter doesn’t. It may not be “fair”, but it does go to show that, once you’ve created a bad impression, it lingers and lingers and lingers and lingers…)
That was happening to me when I first joined. Some folks were vicious! It hurt my feelings…
