I thought you asked politely and that other people probably had the same or similar questions due to not everyone on Reddit being a seismologist. Sorry you got downvoted for trying to learn. Your edit could have been a bit more graceful, though.

I thought everything i did would be commendable. I try to be what i wish others would also be. I try to learn, i ask clear questions and even try to put the question in a form that would be easy to understand and the one answering would have less trouble in figuring out what i am asking, i thank for every answer and try to reply something worthwhile. I stay humble because i know so little. I ask questions to engage people, strike a conversation and bring forth people wiser and more knowledgeable than myself, try to make the knowledge approachable for myself and others. I try to take account the appearance of my questions: i know my questions might be felt as stubborn and the knowledge might be hard to be distilled in a form accessible to ignorant people like myself. So everything i did i felt was what should be done and still i was downvoted. So because of this i feel people who are downvoting are acting contrary to reason and good manners and people who are acting like that are.. stupid? And stupidity.. should be called out? I think it serves the stupid people best if someone calls out their behavior as it lets them know of their shortcomings. I know i didn’t do it gracefully but in a stupid manner. All downvoters: i wish you well. Please act in a way you wish others would act towards you.

Reddit is just fickle. I’ve made the same comment two different times before, in the same sub but in different threads/on different days, and had one get downvoted to hell and the other with 1000 upvotes. Don’t let it bother you, a lot of people on this site are very young and need to develop a bit of maturity.
