The community is very fair to him. He gets a small number of downvotes beyond what an average user saying the same thing would get, but those can usually be counted on one hand. What often gets left out of this conversation is that everyone here gets a downvote or two on completely uncontroversial posts sometimes. I've seen entire comment threads full of civilized discussion where everyone agrees with each and every single comment has exactly one downvote. I guarantee that it's some troon who followed us over from Spez's CP exchange.
