I also received downvotes when I posted with a particular tag, original content that was paraphrased from an original - everything was explained in the post. It fit the description of the tag and was appropriate for the community, but I got the impression they just didn't like it. I stopped using the tag and have no further interest in participating in that particular community.
Thanks for sharing the experience, it's kind of sad when you spend time creating content and this content gets rejected in an unpleasant way.
But it's good to do what you did, stop using that community tag and move on.
