      Only if you are really stupid or controversial. In a popular thread you can turn the votes around with subsequent posts or a clarifying edit.

        I once asked a question, everyone thought I made a bad joke, down voted, I edited it to include that it was genuine curiosity, got down voted even harder and called stupid, my noddle still doesn’t compute the situation.
