Unfortunately, much like on Reddit, I think that a lot of people (myself included, though I am working to correct this) treat the up/down buttons as though they were agree/disagree buttons
There's some of that, but it seems that "upvote for agreement" is much more common than "downvote for disagreement", except on hot-button topics (which covers brazil84' post). Downvoting generally requires disagreement + rudeness or stupidity.
