Please don't do this. This can lead to karma sinks and also potentially reinforce group think.

What is a "karma sink" in this context?

Trying to articulate what I meant by karma sink and I don't really have a coherent notion of the statement. I think I meant something like a single comment leading to massive downvotes, but when stated that way it doesn't seem to be that bad.

Is that actually a problem?
