It's that momentum. Once you start going negative, you get pile driven even lower

Only if you are really stupid or controversial. In a popular thread you can turn the votes around with subsequent posts or a clarifying edit.

Sometimes you start with the person you replied to down voting you because they think you disagreed with them, then others read your comment and up vote it

Who cares what intermet strangers think about your comments?

Who cares about down votes? I'd care if I didn't express my view properly, but sometimes people just disagree

Hide votes unless you're keen on worrying about stupid manipulative internet points
