One of my answer is receiving downvote and I don't understand the reason.
It seems users are following the first downvote blindly. But having @fschmengler comment makes me wonder why?

Your case is a rare one.
Usually people don't state reasons for why they downvote something.
You got an explanation and a valid one I might say.
Generally speaking, people are encouraged to state a reason for downvoting, but you cannot enforce that. If people want to downvote they can.
There are rules against serial downvoting (or upvoting). If there are a lot of targeted votes in a short peropd of time, they are reverted the next day. If there are targeted votes in a long period of time they appear in some moderator report.
I checked the report for you and there is nothing wrong with it, so you are save.
People downvoted the content, not the person in your specific case.

Thanks for reply Marius. In my understanding the answer is serving the question. I don't find the exact reason for down vote. Is it wrong answer? Obviously I could edit and improve it, but I want to see the right answer to this question and can be compared to it (happy to get more down vote if answer deserves). Commented May 23, 2016 at 6:28

1The first comment on your answer states that your solution hides the problem, it does not solve it. This is a valid reason.– Marius ModCommented May 23, 2016 at 6:30
