  • -1? Was this a very offensive act to ask something? This was just a curiosity. I don't really care about down votes and i don't even know what my rep on meta is. But why down vote? What is in appropriate here? Feb 23, 2012 at 9:30
  • Voting is different on Meta, and there's no rep - Also, voting is not used to denote offensive questions on Meta or the main site, if your question was somehow offensive (it's not) people would flag it as such.

    Nothing wrong with it, someone probably didn't find your question interesting / helpful. Don't get stuck on a single downvote, on Meta or the main site...
