It looks like there is a tremendous amount of downvoting of simple factual info in this thread, unfortunately (the subjective opinions, sure, whatever)
I've noticed with my own posts that some people here tend to downvote purely factual information simply because they find it unpleasant. Although that usually happens on some of the more controversial topics (and much more frequently on weekends, IMO). This post isn't really controversial...
I don't think it's wrong to downvote unpleasant-but-true posts if it appears that the author's intention was strictly to be provocational. Clearly that's not the case here though
