    I want to know if you downvoted my emoji comment because you didn’t understand it, or because you did and got mad that I disproved your point about needing words.

    Keep in mind I haven’t downvoted any of your comments.

      Not mad, the comment was not adding anything of value in my opinion because it was not clear what it meant. So the down vote is for “this comment is not useful and perhaps lazy”. I also upvote things which I do not agree with but they are proposed in a civil manner, and when I’m proven wrong I say " thanks for letting me know this". So… This is not personal.

      And I never claimed that anything (post, comment or whatever) needed words to have meaning. Not sure what your point is though…
