Agreed with all of this, but the last bit makes me curious... does downvoting someone who is involved in an exchange with a third party decrease the probability that the conversation is pleasant for the two of them?

Well being downvoted, especially when it puts one in the negatives, stirs up bad feelings which might make someone less likely to behave pleasantly in a conversation.
