Some people might downvote everything another has ever said out of spite.
Some might gather a group of friends to downvote a comment they don't like.
It's like giving everyone a double vote.
We don't kick people out of real life for disagreeing with us. (some do but no)
Users should never be kicked out. Downvotes shouldn't exist. Baring extreme scenarios, a system of upvotes should sort everything out.
