I couldn't disagree more with parent's opinion: I don't consider 'scariness' to be transitive in this context (see related comment of soldier being afraid of spiders) and the tone seems arrogant and "look at me, I'm an overachiever" to me.
HOWEVER, one's agreeing or disagreeing SHOULD NOT determine a vote (so, doesn't matter if he has a 'good point' or not). The people who have the karma to downvote (I don't) should swallow it up if they strongly disagree with the comment, but can't justify why the opinion can't be said.
TL;DR; one shouldn't downvote because of opinion, no matter how nocive or negative one might find it.
True, but he wouldn't have edited this in if he had not been downvoted first. But I do agree that the bullying and the sarcasm were unecessary and somewhat justified the downvotes.

This makes for a pretty easy downvote:
Edit: and you are too scared to offer a counterpoint, so you anonymously downvote instead :)
