I think if there's any negative phrasing in your first three words, those reading from the Philosophers Chair (bathroom) are primed to take what immediately follows as Bad Vibes and downvote accordingly. They're not in this for accuracy.

My hypothesis at least.

Interesting. How would you rewrite the first sentence to sound positive?

Well my problem isn't with the writing in its original form, it's with the downvoting in response to it. I am fine with someone bringing bad news if it's helpful info.

		Me too. I meant "How could the first sentence be rewritten to sound positive/ not attract downvotes?"
