It's not about the vote-adjustment value at all, I couldn't care less about that; your vote given to "rectify my loss" speaks contrarily to your line above about "don't need the votes" and seems a hollow gesture; the word apology carries more weight and value, despite it being unnecessary.

I had thought the person themselves would comment and the situation would have been resolved [and probably reversed], but a lack of ownership on their part seems to have occurred and caused you to comment to me instead - I find that strange.
