I think this would discourage me from writing contrary stuff. Right now if I get voted down, I explain it to myself as me having an unpopular but possibly correct opinion. Hearing that people want "less like this" seems harsh somehow.
Isn't that the point? A stimuli that is insufficiently strong to change behavior is pointless to use for behavior modification.
