Why do you vote up or vote down an argument on CD?
What is the criteria which you use, and do you think it displays poor sportsmanship to just vote down all opposing arguments?

I don't have an answer because I don't vote arguments up or down. Instead, I argue arguments "up or down" with my agreement or disagreement. If fact, I think the makers of this site should require someone to present a responsive argument before they are allowed to vote an argument up or down. Lacking that, I think it should be a custom among CD users to do so. Then it would be obvious why the vote up or down was made. Side: explain your up or down votes please

I will only up-vote if the argument makes a particularly well thought out or astute point. I will only downvote if the argument is exceptionally stupid or lazy and thus irritates me sufficiently to motivate me to downvote it. Most of the time I don't bother with voting either way. I post arguments, those are my votes. Side: Only Up Vote
