1) I did not mod you down. I happen to agree completely that seeing some of the ingenious techniques that #1 demos use is interesting and informative and I believe I have stated this in the past.
2) This is just a guess, but I suspect the down-mod has little to do with wasted time. I would guess it's that someone disagrees with the sentiment above in that this gives away the trick for achieving the #1 score. I know that there have been heated discussions about "
sniping"
#1 scores in the past, so some people's passions may run high about this, though I would have expected a post to that effect or at least a PM. It could also be the lack of spoiler tags around the picture (though again that deserves possibly a PM requesting them, not a downmod).
3) Making guesses publicly about who modded you down is the kind of thing that is likely to lead to more mod downs. The three posters you listed have, in my experience, have a lot of integrity and I would find it surprising for any of them to mod down a post for a non obvious reason without a follow up post.
4) (To all) Remind me again why modding down is a thing that exists?
