You're likely being down voted due to your attitude. It's one thing to politely argue a position, quite another to ask rhetorical questions as though everyone else is stupid for not knowing the obvious.
Thanks for explaining, but what attitude are you seeing in the first [1] post? In this one I was annoyed at the downvotes on the first one and (later) this one, but what was wrong with the first one? People downvoted it for no reason... this seemed just a continuation of that.
That post seems fine. I'm not sure why it was downvoted.
If it makes you feel any better, some of my comments get downvoted too, especially in the first hour or so. Then over the next 24-48 hours the scores will go up again.
The worst thing to do is complain about the downvoting, though, because that pretty much forecloses any chance of recovery.
