| Nov 20, 2015 at 2:32 | comment | added | Braiam | @Hellreaver actually, telling how you voted distracts the person from the critic you are trying to make, and they feel obliged to point out that the vote is unwarranted and your constructive criticism is simply ignored.

| Nov 19, 2015 at 19:32 | comment | added | Hellreaver | @Braiam I somewhat agree that voting is private, but only because of how the user reacted to being told. I think, generally, telling the user why you downvoted them is actually constructive criticism, and helpful, and the user reacting harshly is not the norm. | |
| Nov 19, 2015 at 5:54 | comment | added | Braiam | @edwardtorvalds voting is private, for the very same reasons you describe. You are not obliged into telling anyone how you voted, and doing so never is a good idea. | |
| Nov 19, 2015 at 5:22 | comment | added | Alex Jones | @Braiam voting should always be private? | |
| Nov 18, 2015 at 21:14 | comment | added | Braiam | @edwardtorvalds you may not want to mention the way you voted, anywhere, for any purpose. | |

| Nov 18, 2015 at 11:42 | comment | added | terdon | @edwardtorvalds either ignore them or flag their chat rant for mod attention or, since there is usually at least one mod in the AU room, ask one of them for help. | |

| Nov 18, 2015 at 11:37 | comment | added | Alex Jones | I did the exact same way to you said, I downvoted the question but after leaving a comment. but the problem was that user (whoever he/she is does not matter) was after me, yelling in chat to remove downvote. what to do then? | |
