Sometimes I have trouble deciding how to vote. Many times I upvote as a "thank you" for commenting on something I posted and sometimes I upvote because I agree with the comment.

Also, I upvote when I don't agree, but the effort of writing and explaining their opinion is so well structured.

Downvote only when it's missing the point or disrespectful.
