I'm pretty sure 'upvote' is not supposed to mean 'agree', and 'downvote' is not supposed to mean 'disagree'. Note the discussion earlier about possibly adding these options for voting. High-quality comments that you disagree with (or don't) should be upvoted, and low-quality comments that you agree with (or don't) should be downvoted.
Either way, a technical discussion about the quality of the comment is probably off-topic, and so not warranted. If someone says "shmoo" as a comment, I want to be able to just click "Vote down" and not have to write an explanation.
I interpret an upvote as "I want to see more comments / posts like this" and a downvote as saying the opposite. It really does seem like a separate agree/disagree button would be a good idea, but there are other LW improvements with higher priorities.
