Upvoted for leading to interesting discussion.

Unintended side effect: Anyone who doesn't want to see poor quality posts or disingenuous arguments has now been given an incentive to minimize high quality comments in any descending discussion. Approximately the opposite effect to voting up the high quality discussion directly.

Backfiring sarcasm: By declaring you downvote to be "helping me out" in penalizing high quality comments in response to terrible posts you seem to be affirming the criticism as high quality.
