I suppose it could be; there's nothing to scale against it.
If you suggested that, though, they'd follow up by saying it's a tread mark from the atomic car of an advanced prehistoric race. Loonies always find ridiculous, spurious arguments to bleat on and on.
I'm still minded that it looks like a bit of packing tape ripped off a package, taking a bit of label with it, though.

It could be anything but I doubt it's from an intelligent race or they would still be here.

No I said intelligent life, cockroaches were here long before us and will be here long after we're gone.

Some @** is downvoting answers in the Q&A forum.
And he is a platinum voter!!

Else I suggest you do not post on this website!!"

Not me - I've had one downvote about 20 minutes ago but that was just He Who Must Not Be Named doing his usual drivel.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'll be honest. I don't mind the odd down-vote.
However, I've got to know why - at least its something to learn.
That is exactly why I appreciate SA's contribution to Q&A.
He down-votes at times....but always lets one know why.

We should have negative ranks as well, perhaps taken from biology:

I vote for the last one.
Anyone who spells such a perfectly good name so wrongly is the absolute worst.

Lighten up. Members are welcome to vote any way they choose.

Yeah... keep thinking that way...

They shouldn't be allowed to down-vote without specifying a valid reason.

Don't forget. When you come to the lounge and complain about it you get sympathy upvotes so it's actually a gain for them. Why else do you think they come to complain?

Why such a personal attack?

The person is a platinum member so obviously they have contributed more than just their opinion to this site.
When did you become the spokesman for the roughly 11.3 million member?

Abhinav S has contributed more to the site than you are I. I think Abhinav has every right to complain about abusive down-voting, or the potential thereof.

No doubt he has but that doesn't make him a spokesperson for the entire community.
I, for one, do not want him speaking for me.
He makes accusations without giving reference to the offending remarks. Why not post a link so we can all make up our own minds if the answer deserved to be down voted.
I suspect it was his answer and he is offended that someone didn't bow down to his superior knowledge, but I have no way of knowing because he chose to decide for us all what is abusive voting.
I would like to make up my own mind after examining the question and answer. Perhaps I would like to down vote it also?

did you vote my post as abuse? Someone just voted my post as abuse right before you posted your reply to me.

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you. 
In answer to your question, no I didn't vote your post as abuse. That would mean that I gave a crap about what you posted. 
In case you haven't noticed I don't give a sh*t about my reputation here, nor do I care about yours.

Well, Khun James, I must say, with all due respect, that surely you cannot deny that the right to rant is an inalienable liberty of the Lounge arising from ... Hail Satan ! ... its diabolical endowment as an on-going demolition-derby of egos and intellects.

Perhaps if he linked to the question and answer I would agree with him. Then again I might decide to down vote the answer also?
<rant>
He should not pretend to know how I would react to the answer. I do not want him, or anyone else, deciding what is an appropriate vote.
People are so involved with their reputation here that they take offense to anyone who disagrees with them.
The thing that should be clear is that we are all damaged units here. If we really had lives to live we would be interacting with real people and not being offended by what anyone here has to say.

Send me a link of an answer downvoted and I'll look into it.
[Update: It's not one person, there doesn't seem to be anything malicious. Users are simply stating their opinion]
cheers
