The reason you're getting downvoted is probably more of a reflex than anything else. We get a lot of concern trolls here who love to sealion and generally be obnoxious and annoying.

Just be sure to actually listen to what we have to say (you don't need to change you mind though) and respond appropriately and you'll be fine. If you just talk past us and accuse us of things we don't actually believe, yeah, you're going to get downvotes, same as if you tried that on any social media platform.
