Same here. My point/argument, upvoted or downvoted, is still my point. If someone doesn't want to engage it because I have downvotes, then I don't think I want to hear them. Upvotes or downvotes shouldn't change the validity of my argument. A racist post with faulty arguments is still invalid even if it has all the upvotes and is at the front page.

Meanwhile I tend to post on throwaways on reddit anyways, so I mind the downvotes even less.
