It is unfortunate that meaningful discourse often suffers when individuals form hasty judgments based solely on the initial few words of a comment, or when they make assumptions and jump to conclusions without fully considering the underlying content and intent. In my experience, I frequently encounter down-votes in such situations, which I find quite disappointing, especially when these down-votes occur without any accompanying explanation or constructive feedback. Such superficial engagement diminishes the quality of discussion and discourages thoughtful contributions, IMO.
TL;DR: Down-voting without explanation is quite frustrating. People hastily form misguided judgments on content they haven't fully understood, think "I don't like it" and down-vote without consideration (and any form of feedback or constructive criticism).
I am very much inclined to agree.
