Nov 25, 2015 at 6:33 comment added Cyndekai Oh, ok. Thanks for the tip.
Nov 24, 2015 at 23:42 comment added thomasrutter @Cyndekai you can always comment on your own answers regardless of rep, as far as I understand (if this isn't the case, someone correct me). If you can't comment on that answer anymore it'll be because you deleted the answer.
Nov 24, 2015 at 23:41 comment added thomasrutter @Serg I agree that would be a good principle. For me, if the person who wrote the answer asks why they were downvoted I usually am happy to explain (as in this case), but I otherwise don't always leave a comment.

Nov 24, 2015 at 11:12 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy The downvotes don't have to be justified, true, but it sure is better to leave a comment. A user should have feedback to adjust one's behavior accordingly. I got as far as i have only thanks to people willing to communicate with me and guide , instead of plain downvoting
Nov 24, 2015 at 10:57 comment added thomasrutter @Oli this has been moved to meta. It was in askubuntu.com.
Nov 24, 2015 at 10:57 comment added thomasrutter @Serg have a look at the question in the link and read through - if we expect OP to have come from the Windows world, and he's saying he can't find an executable, then it means he probably doesn't have a .exe. I did indeed read the question and answer with due consideration. At any rate, downvotes don't have to be justified.
Nov 24, 2015 at 10:37 comment added Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy @thomasrutter assumption that the OP made isn't that bad - we should expect people coming form the Windows world.
Nov 24, 2015 at 8:42 comment added Oli Mod Meta is not an inappropriate place to ask this sort of stuff. I wish other people asked this sort of thing rather than blindly carrying on.

Nov 24, 2015 at 3:48 comment added Cyndekai Just found out how to comment. Thanks.
Nov 24, 2015 at 3:11 comment added thomasrutter It just happens to be me that downvoted your answer. The reason is that it doesn't appear to answer the question. You are making the assumption that the OP wants to run an .exe file but this wasn't said and the question implies they can't find an executable file. This is just my interpretation of the question and the answer; people can downvote for whichever reason they choose and are not usually required to give their reasoning, but I'm happy to do so here voluntarily.
