Do you think that people use the downvote to tell another user that they are a terrible person... or do they simply use it to express disagreement with a statement?
I think probably both happen, but it's tilted heavily toward the latter. Feel free to downvote if you disagree. :)
The problem with the downvote is that it mixes the messages "I don't agree" with "I don't think others should see this". There is no way to say "I don't agree, but that post was worth thinking about", is there? Short of posting a comment of your own, that is.
I've been known to upvote in such cases, if the post is otherwise neutral-or-better. I like to see things here that are worth thinking about.
