1. The joke is old and I assumed that most of us have heard it before
2a. What he said really didn't comment on the article
2b. Therefore, I felt the comment didn't add anything
2c. I would, however, automatically expect to see such a comment on Reddit
3. The fact that it's being voted up (5 at this point) disappointed me
4. I voted him down. People always complain when they are voted down without explanation
5. I intended my previous comment to explain why I voted him down
That's all. I could make the leap and say that the quality of comments here is going down, but that might be going too far for everyone's tastes.

So set a good example and don't reply to downmods with 7 reasons why your comment shouldn't have been downmodded. Even good comments get downmodded from time to time; deal with it.
