What should I do if I suspect someone of engaging in retaliatory down-voting? I was engaged in a rather heated discussion with a particular individual and I have noticed recently that this individual leaves a comment or question on a post of mine, and appears to accompany it with a down-vote, but no explanation.
I suspect this individual has taken umbrage as the result of our heated discussion, and seeks to retaliate by down-voting any question I might ask.
Well, first off: you only have two questions right now, so if someone out for revenge limits themselves to voting on those then there's a pretty low limit to the damage they can do.
Beyond that: if you notice a suspicious number of votes showing up in a short time, give it 24 hours - there's a script that runs daily to detect and invalidate many forms of vote-abuse. If this works, then you can just ignore it and go on.
If the script doesn't catch it, flag one of the affected posts and let a moderator know you suspect something amiss; they'll check it out, and if there's anything detectable behind it they'll take appropriate action.
Finally: if someone's harassing you via comments, flag and inform a moderator.
