Revenge downvoting (kbin.social)

Is it considered acceptable to "revenge downvote" by going to a user's profile and downvoting all their posts or comments? I've seen some of this behavior going on and I don't think it reflects very well on the Fediverse or Kbin.

EDIT: Honestly didn't expect this post, of all posts, to be the one to open me up to hate. Thought fedizens were friendlier than that.

Well now, have you considered alot of your posts actually suck?

A quick glance and I see several innocuous posts of your which have not been downvoted and the ones with multiple downvotes (whereon you might well feel brigaded) you're engaging in apologia for fascism.

Not getting into that here, but if you reread my article, you'll see that I'm talking about revenge downvoting by going to someone's profile and downvoting unrelated articles and comments in a petty act of revenge. No offense, but you sound kind of like the kind of people who have been doing this to me (and, I'm sure, others).

I don't care enough to downvote you.
I do know the phenomenon you're talking about, and I'm merely suggesting people actually don't like your posts.
Surely if people were "out to get you" you wouldn't have so many posts with 0 downvotes.

If you are being "brigade downvoted", people are only doing it to the posts where you're being a douche.
