He wasn't here for any of the downvoting discussions in ST. No clue of what is considered courteous. Even ant will usually wait for a vid to get published before a downvote. Especially one like this, that has nothing offensive whatsoever in it. Boring? Hit stop, no-vote, and move onto one you find more exciting. But, whatever. You can downvote anything you want. Some people just choose to use it more judiciously.

I thought it was cute.

Fletch - I do have some clue about etiquette here. I did provide a reason when asked after all. But I appreciate the hint to go read the down vote discussions. I'm doing it now. There's quite a bit of it, so before I forget, and at the risk of writing with limited knowledge, I do want to say one thing. Waiting for a video to make it out of the queue before down voting, to me, seems ruder than not waiting. By voting down while a video is in the queue, one has a chance to affect the post. Afterwards, it seems, it's not much more than a "your taste sucks." Just my $.02 - I'll go finish my history lesson now.

[edit]
Ah, so a video can be discarded by down votes even after publication. That changes my feelings about down voting after publication being more rude. But I still think it makes more sense not to wait - if the point of a down vote is to express the opinion that one really doesn't want a video on the sift. I do try to be very judicious with down votes.

One last point - SG had no such qualms about down voting my video while it was in the queue, and it didn't seem to bother you then, Fletch. In fact, nearly all of the down votes I received on my submissions were while they were in the queue.
