This seems like a great way to build echo chambers. "Oh, he dares to hold a different view than mine? Downvote!"

Not a great way, but a small step towards, yes :-)

But the LW-in-reality is some distance away from the LW-as-it-should-be. In practice I see downvotes on the basis of disagreement all the time. This is what is (descriptive) regardless of what people would like to be (normative).
