I am not catloaf but I have a problem with people literally combing vote logs to call users out in comments. That’s toxic verging on obsessive.
Absolutely not the way to act as the face of a project. It accomplishes nothing besides making you look incredibly petty and dissuades people from supporting your work.
No need to comb anything. Instance admins get to see who voted on any item, right in the UI. And it’s been going for months: if I have a comment or post with a single downvoter, 90% of the cases it’s my friend here.

It’s so weird to keep track of that, and petty on both sides if it has been happening for months like you say.
I also think you are placing way too high importance on vote counts, and specifically pinging people is not the way to handle your disapproval.
