Well, I now have a new definition of FUD, for which I thank you.

You, after defining FUD, do clearly state my position. I am glad we do not misunderstand what I am trying to convey.

I was referring to the difference between metaphors as semantics. I apologize if that was unnecessary or inaccurate, but as the metaphors differences seem not to address the core issue, which is that a lot of people feel that downvotes do exactly as you state I state, I think that's the issue to address, rather than metaphors.

I look forward to your post. Thanks!
