I have never so thoroughly enjoyed and had my mood brightened by something that I then logged a "downvote" upon. Am I being irrational in this vote? The proper criteria for making these votes seems largely implied but never actually explained.

The guideline is generally: vote up what you want to see more of, vote down what you want to see less of.

Not the same as agreeing or disagreeing. I'd vote up something that was well-argued and forced me to think hard about why I thought it completely wrong before posting a refutation of it.

The grandparent is made of fail on all counts.
