Before we get started, I do not care that I lost the reputation. I'm trying to figure out why the reputation was taken away.

The answer that I downvoted did not answer the OP's question, hence the downvote. An answer should answer the question, which it simply did not do. So why exactly did I lose reputation for taking part in the community?

Thanks in advance.
