They HAVE implemented a feature that pops up a question "Replies to downvoted comments are discouraged. Pay 5 Karma points to proceed anyway?" and then you choose whether to spend 5 karma points or not to reply to the downvoted comment. It doesn't seem to me the feature to report positives and negatives separately would be less coding than this one they have put in place. See http://lesswrong.com/lw/fnk/meta_retributive_downvoting_why/7wls?context=3 for a comment you can see the pop-up question at when you try to reply.
I don't understand the logic here.
It sounds like you're saying something like: "A friend loaned me five bucks, so surely he can loan me five more." By induction, the friend has infinite amounts of money.
No, it is something like "A friend went to a movie 12 times in the last 15 weeks for $5 each. So if I find a movie the friend will like and it is $5, he'll probably want to go."
