03:30's definitely not good.  You sure it's not just furballs? Ours is usually sick about 07:15 every other day, if we do nothing. With really regular grooming, it's down to about twice a week. With regular use of KittyMalt or other furball "remedy" as well, we can get it down to once a week.

You hate it that much, but not enough to leave a comment telling me why it was awful.
Oh well. My haters make me famous.
Though I kinda wish CP would force you to comment on a 1 star vote. I'm pretty sure I've picked up a troll.

We all get 'em from time to time.
With articles, it's often Joe Stupid from Dumbton, Texas realising that it isn't what he needs to hand in as his homework rather than a troll, but "odd" downvotes to articles get discarded with sufficient up votes: they are treated as anomalies and silently "vanish" from the overall rating - one of mine has 21 "removed" votes.
Comments used to be compulsory, but either they consisted of "sdfsdfsdfsdf" or they started a flame war / tit-for-tat downvoting contest, so they were discontinued.

I see. Well, I think it's a troll because i get it fairly consistently since this year, and when i post several they all get downvoted at the same time.

I agree to 100% with OG.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I don't typically. It's just when I try to crawl inside their head that i end up regretting it. Who does that?

Why do you regret it? It's spacious in there!

No wonder; it's extremely unsanitary in there.

What really gets me is the kind of articles that get the most votes. For example, I worked on and off for a couple months on my latest article, and as far as I know, the only votes came from my two coworkers.
Conversely, I spent probably less than four hours writing the code and article for Stop Writing Switch and If-Else Statements![^] and it won first prize! And I thought people would hate it because of the bizarre syntax and performance hit that occurs simply to avoid if-else statements!
To quote Kirk in my favorite Star Trek movie: "I have never understood Klingons my audience, and I probably never will."

If I had to offer a guess, I'd say it's how relatable the article is. Anyone that understands C# can relate to the switch/if-else article while the newest article is more niche. Good article though, even if personally I suddenly develop narcolepsy when it comes to most JS libraries that are replacements for a dozen existing libraries. With that said, I wholeheartedly agree with the introduction points and #6 under pros. More libraries should at least attempt that where possible.

Yes, I agree. The problem with the way I write is that I don't necessarily want to write about relatable stuff because most of the time its either boring or many other people have already written about it. Personally I'm more interested in writing the "there be dragons here" falling off the edge of the known world articles.
And thanks for the vote! Woohoo! 3!

It now has 4 votes. I don’t do web dev, but that was an interesting read.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I wouldn't dwell on it - whats the saying, 'haters gonna hate' (yeah, I deserve 'ok boomer' for that) - but how many of these turds have the guts to stand up and produce meaningful content ? they are less than pimples on a maggot's butt, so don't give em the satisfaction

'Twas I!
Downvoting all those braceless single line if-statements 
Seriously though, those people suck.
What bothered me in the past, wrote an article, got all 5's and then someone voted a 4.
HOW DARE THEY MESS UP MY PERFECT SCORE!!!  
But then again, some people just don't vote 5 ever because nothing is perfect.
The 1's are ultimately left out of your score because they differ too much from the other scores I think, so
