So we've seen this talked about this a few times since downvotes on posts became public for users over level 6. The goal of making them public for posts was to prevent brigading and it has been pretty effective. A few users didn't like it and left. I think some of those people came back under new names. So the question is, should we do the same for comments, IE add a comment details button something similar that allows users over level 6 to see who downvoted their comments. We are looking forward to what the community thinks.

No, I'm rather confident I know exactly who you are - because you used the exact same strategy you always do to twist a question into something else entirely. I never did quite figure out if it was actual poor reading comprehension or just scattered trolling, but the behavior is spot on regardless.
