In general, I don't think that you should downvote for mere disagreement. This thread feels somewhat different, though, since people are making suggestions of what they'd like to see implemented on the site and up/downvoting those suggestions acts as an easy way of estimating the amount of support that a suggestion has.

My impression was similar. I would interpret a downvote of a suggestion here to mean "I don't want this feature implemented on the website" not "You are doing something bad, stop it.".

[Agreement-upvoted]

I think a two-dimensional vote (usefulness, agreement) instead of the current single dimension ('upvote'/'downvote') would be a good thing for LW to consider.

(There is a difference between disagreement and someone being wrong; with disagreement you don't understand very well where your own position comes from.)
