I saw somebody heavily downvoted and I said to myself - let see who has something interesting to say!

Then, I just downvoted the crap.

We need to have upvotes and downvotes shown independently. That way we can tell if something is controversial or just bad.

I've opened a topic about this recently.

For I am very controversial guy as far as I know and I want this to be visible.

Then I saw, it has been suggested earlier. Probably more than once. Shouldn't be impossible, since you can already sort the posts by "Controversial". Keep some pressure in this direction!
