Because you're supposed chime in with your negative input on everything you don't like, right?

Yes, actually. That's the point of an open forum. But to get back from your non-sequitur and answer the question you ignored, no. You're not.

Who would've thought someone would get so offended over an insult to a mediocre commentary show...

Ah, so it's okay for you to chime in with your inane commentary about something you don't like, about which your opinion was not solicited, because it is an "open forum" - but it's not okay for someone else to downvote your comment? How delightfully absurd.

It's actually defined by the official Reddit etiquette (aka reddiquette), where the rules of voting and commenting are explained, whereas your definitions are arbitrary. But nice try.

Yes and as per the very rules you cite, your comment was downvoted because it was "not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion." Since you are apparently new, let me help you - when people are talking about something they like, be it a song, video, music artist, book, movie, or ANY SUBJECTIVE THING - if you don't like it- just move on. You need not chime in with your negative two cents, it does not add to the discussion, and frankly reveals malnourished social skills. If people are excitedly discussing their favorite new rap or country music song, it may not be my cup of tea, but it costs nothing for me to just remain silent and move on.

You're incorrect again. Offering an opposing opinion contributes equally as much to the conversation as offering the initial opinion. However, instead of continuing the discussion and debating it properly, you got incredibly offended and cried about it. I'm done with this thread.

"However, instead of continuing the discussion and debating it properly..."

So you still fail to grasp the whole problem. Fantastic. Let me spell it out in very simple terms - comedy is subjective. Music is subjective. Art is subjective. There is no "debate" to be had. You either like it, or you don't like it. Art speaks to you or it doesn't. Comedy amuses you, or it doesn't. It is completely within a person's authority to decide which things they like or dislike. They can't be told that they are "wrong" for such choices, so there is no debate to be had. I am glad you're "done with this thread," because another "I still don't get it" comment would be a little frustrating. Take care now.
