WHAT DID SHE EAT!?

@Archonix  
No. Just saying that I’m smarter than a chimp.

@BrownieComicWriter  
W-
 
@Archonix  
…Never mind.

@BrownieComicWriter
 
Are you seriously restarting an argument that caused an adminstrator to step in and delete comments?
 
Feel free to stop any time.

Seriously? I quite clearly said “more intelligent”. How did your brain translate that to “dumber”? Seriously, how? I cannot understand that at all. Maybe I’m actually more intelligent than a chimp. Oh wait.

@BrownieComicWriter  
Might have used the wrong word but the way you keep saying things like “DUH it’s obvious don’t be dumb!” makes you seem…. thingwy. Whatever the word I need is.  
You think I’m enjoying this???  
No.  
I don’t really know what the next bit is meant to be and I can’t be bothered to figure it out.  
@BrownieComicWriter  
It’s the implication that people who didn’t get the joke are dumber than chimps.  
And yes, I agree, I want this to end but you keep acting like this. All I ever wanted was for things to be resolved.

Hang on, it just occured to me: How is saying you’re more intelligent than a chimpanzee smug and superior? Is that some kind of impressive achievement?

@DrNazus  
WHAT?!
 
Okay, just hold on a second. I am not smug. Not one bit! I am vexed! This entire situation is vexing me! You think I’m enjoying this???
 
Oh, so you want smug and superior? Okay then.  

 
Oh wow, do you really care about making friends? That’s so precious. All you people are so pathetic with your reliances on each other.
 
See the difference between smugness and superiority (i.e. not what I was doing) and being frustrated (i.e. what I was doing)? Those are two very different emotions.
 
Also, please no more.

@BrownieComicWriter  
You really need to stop acting so smug and superior. That’s not how you make friends.

Since the record has been deleted, I’d just like to make it clear for posterity’s sake that no, I was not serious when I said:  

 
It was a joke to lighten the tension. Which I would have thought was obvious, what with the whole being more intelligent than a chimpanzee thing.

@Princess Luna  
Some of us do use downvotes for their intended purpose at least.

@Princess Luna  
I guess we just have differing opinions on the subject.

@DrNazus  
It’s for judging the quality of the art as bad. Let’s just say that some things were put in with unrealistic ideals about user behavior.

@Princess Luna  
do not downvote something just because you don’t like the content. It’s not what downvotes are for  
Whaaaaaat? Then what’s it for if not for expressing your dislike of something?

@Background Pony #8B7C  
@Background Pony #8B7C  
Don’t you dare tell me that you thought it was legitimate to respond to someone asking why people didn’t like something with “cause people don’t like it?” [sic].  
Once again, your tone with people starts things; try and think more about how your words affect people.
 
@BrownieComicWriter  
You need to calm down. I can’t exactly blame you over people giving such ridiculous answers, but you should not be raging over it like this.
 
Now, as to the voting behavior:do not downvote something just because you don’t like the content. It’s not what downvotes are for; this is decent art and doesn’t deserve to be tossed in the same bin as random 4chan drama.

@BrownieComicWriter  

 
lol are you fucking serious?

@BrownieComicWriter  
if that is indeed your real name  
It’s not.  
The focus is on the negative score…  
“Why are there so many more dislikes than likes?”, then.

@Background Pony #8B7C  
@DrNazus  
@Keith Mowz  
Okay, I got a little heated. Whatever. I’d say I was sorry if it were true.
 
It just really gets my goat when I ask a question and someone gives an answer like that. It’s just an insult to everyone’s intelligence; “Yes, obviously! I knew that because it was obvious! And you should have known that I’d know because it was obvious, because it’s obvious!!”
 
And DrNazus (if that is indeed your real name,) asking why so many people disliked this wouldn’t have been the same question. The focus is on the negative score; the highest-scoring image on Derpibooru has far more downvotes than this, yet it’s the highest-scoring image on Derpibooru. So you see, asking about the negative score was the most simple and efficient way to phrase my question.

@BrownieComicWriter  
Calm down, dude. You fly off into histrionics way too easily.
