I fear this, too, but I'm not sure what that'd look like. Would people tag someone who downvoted them and act like they're entitled to an explanation? That would probably(?) earn a block from me.
Edit: never mind, that's exactly the kind of thing that happens, it seems.
I'd go for the block and move on approach as well. Nobody is entitled to an explanation.
It helps people and discourse, so it's appreciated. Stalking and tagging downvoters is probably going too far, though.
