However, when one opposes, the creator of the suggestion usually wonders why - reasons for opposing viewpoints help the creator know what they can do to improve upon the suggestion. Reasons for supporting viewpoints do not.

I for one, just don't understand why one would actively try to hide their reason for opposing - is it embarrassing? I see no reason to be embarrassed over your reasoning unless it's a shitty-ass reasoning. Just saying, some users may not want to state their reason in case it starts any drama Dumb logic. You obviously cannot force people to state their reasons, but it's stupid as hell to try and ban them from asking. That's not what I was saying at all though? I was just saying some people may not want to state their reason for opposing in case somebody immature decides to attack them in case they disagree My point still stands. If someone is asked their reason for opposing, and they choose not to provide one, then that's fine. Harassing someone about it is already against the rules.

I have never seen someone harassed due to their vote. Banning something helpful that happens very often (OP asking someone the reason they opposed) is not worth trying to prevent an obscure, extremely rare occurence that already falls under the harassment rule anyway. This rule would do far more harm than good.
