He just down voted me on the "Do Non-Humans deserve equal rights" debate then banned me from it. Then I down voted him for a ridiculous debate and his answers to me. I hadn't prior to that. I had no intention of ever weighing in on that debate again so his ban was fruitless. Jake has a temper which he cannot control when someone really disagrees with him. He is supposed to be one of my allies but you don't do that to an ally when nothing was said that wasn't germane to the question. Just click on his points and you can see all he does down vote and on the many different debates he does it on. The stats don't lie and, for good or for bad, I'm glad they don't anymore. Side: yes

I think he may have cooled recently as I have stopped making as many arguments as I am getting kind of bored of this website. But when I used to make a lot of arguments I would always get downvoted on almost every argument and when I went to JakeJ's award points page I would see he downvoted an argument in the debate in question at the time mine was downvoted. And of course he would most often never respond. Side: yes

I don't really think there's any proof that he did unless he admits it. If you click on his score (next to his user name) you get a full breakdown of his activities. You'll see that recently he has downvoted 4 arguments on the "Is prostitution the ultimate victimless crime" debate, without having added a single argument of his own. Side: yes

I'm going to post over here because, like Joe, I have not be a victim of this either... But I was the victim of Cerin's downvoting whorefest a while ago. But he left the site for good (I think) :D As a side note, was it really necessary to make a huge debate about this? That's really low-class. I see your argument about how you've pointed it out and everything, but maybe it would've been best to gather a few people and get them to all tell him the same rather than publicly humiliate somebody like this. :( Side: No

I thought the same thing when I first saw the debate but sometimes exposure in this way does justice to those who have been harmed by not down voting properly and then taking a hike so as not to face it. My down voting was just recent, like within a day of this debate so mine was fresh in my mind and his stats proved true to what I stated. Side: No
stop being sizzy´s - dont take things so personally. Down-voting is just one of the parameters to make this more fun. I get plenty of down-votes because I take strong stances, and find that one of the fun things about this whole arguing-thingamagic. If the debate is heated than you want to know if someone really disagree´s Down vote this all you want .i. Side: No

One doesn't down vote people for disagreeing pung sviti. You get down voted if your argument is a bad one or you're just trolling. Down voting isn't fun...it's ridiculous the way it's done and condoned here except now you can surmise who the culprit is by their point breakdown. Side: yes
