Why do some of our most prolific question answerers (and therefore reputation beneficiaries) rarely-to-never up vote questions they answer?
It isn't clear why you think that people answering questions should upvote those questions with 2-orders of magnitude greater frequency than those that read them. Currently it appears to require 100-...

Is it wrong for someone to post an answer that does not meet their own up-vote standard?
When going over my own answers, I don't think they all would pass my own standard for up-voting.

Pile-on down voting without a single comment explaining why or how to edit, is this how a site should work? How close was my guess?
I think there might be two possible reasons for the downvotes. I am, however, not a psychologist, so these are just my guesses.
