Because they are UN-happy...

Doesn't happy to everyone. Perhaps you simply leave comments/questions that the majority of users find useless or annoying?

Those persons are not the usual AB users, they don't down rate except for a small group of 4/5 users but we all know who they are. We get uninvited visitors during weekends that could explain the issue. Do your very best to ignore them, don't ask or comment about them all they want is attention if you don't give it to them they will simply starve. Regards.

I had a look at some of your downrated answers on your profile, and for me, the answer is obvious. You seem to have a deep hate against women. This won't make you many friends by them, and they are about the half of the people on AB (and also elsewhere). And many men won't support this kind of aggressive language either. In my opinion, the real question is: "Why do you have such a hate against women?" (and various other people) "1. Guilt & self esteem issues Why am i staying in an emotionally abusive relationship Because most women don't have the courage or intelligence to get out. Dec 31, 2008 -10 2. Abusive relationships Why is domestic violence increasing? Because of women. Dec 31, 2008 -9 3. Gender studies How do you feel about women who don't wear bras in public? I don't care. But they absolute sluts, that's for sure. Dec 22, 2008 -9 4. You so fat... WHY IS MY GIRL SO FAT SHE IS TEN AND IS 130LBS Girls are very lazy and conservative that they let their selves explode. Dec 31, 2008 -8 5. Pregnancy Do you think that pregnant women look cute? Hell no. Pregnant women are rather ugly and repulsive. Dec 20, 2008 -6 6. Pregnancy What do you think when you see a pregnant woman smoking? I praise pregant women who smoke. Nov 27, 2008 -6 7. Gender studies Why do you think girls mature faster than boys? Is it because females are more social and have better language skills at an earlier age? Girls never mature faster because they're so slow in the head, they're way obsessed with things, they're desperate, and they lie. Dec 22, 2008 -5 8. Life & Society What do u wish for for the human race? Try not to overpopulate the already over populated world. Dec 26, 2008 -5 9. Human behavior Why do girls mature faster than boys? I doubt that. Girls never mature faster because they're so easy to manipulate and they're very desperate, and they're money wasters. Dec 22, 2008 -5 10. Ethics Are you sexist, racist, and a bully? More sexist. Dec 27, 2008 -5 11. Outside the bag Am I the only person who hates babies? Of course not. I definitly hate babies and children. Nov 24, 2008 -5 12. Life & Society Am I a bad person for saying sexist joke? If it's sexist against women, no. Dec 27, 2008 -5 13. Outside the bag When will the abuse of women finished? Never. Probably when women stop showing their stupidity. Dec 27, 2008 -5 14. Abusive relationships Would you think me less of a man if you knew i'd been physically abused by my ex girlfriend? I don't know about that. I think if a woman hits a man, the bitch deserves to get hit back. If it was legal, I would do it left and right. Dec 31, 2008 -5 15. Relationship advice What do you think of men that feel women deserve abuse? More power to them."

Maybe because the things you write are so offensive. Try contributing something instead of putting people down all the time. Otherwise, do you think anyone appreciates your negative attitude? Think about it.

You made someone mad at you perhaps.

I don't know, I have noticed the answers I EXPECT to get DRed for rarely get it then I get DRed for http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4970146

Some of us get Downrated just because we are on the Leaderboard or we talk to people others do not like or they do not like our name or face and i am not talking about -1 and -2s but the higher ranking members who manipulate the percentages and boards by continually hitting you with -4s and -5s on innocuous questions.

There are a lot of spiteful, vicdictive and very bitter people here. Somehow, downrating others makes them feel powerful, important and all around better about themselves

Anything bordering on 85%+ ratings given is DR happy in my books. Give your head a shake. I bit of advice. If you have nothing nice to say say nothing. Opinions are great but nasty is just plain old nasty.

ignore this.

"THEY" aren't. SOME are. Some are jerks, some are kids "having fun", and some are just pissed off at the world and taking it out on you. For more about DRs, see http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2m_faq_ab_pnts_lvls_rtgspwr.shtml#downrating

Some people have downrated me by 5 or 6 points for no apparent reason and that annoys me because the answers they did it to had nothing wrong with them. I can understand a person getting a lot of downrates if they continually made sexist and/or otherwise offensive comments but I don't do that.
