thats like saying: you expressed your opinion so we will shoot you

You have just stumbled onto one of the best kept secrets of this site. I lobbied for that rule to be put into effect so that everybody would keep each other down (including themselves). That enabled me to amass over 21K points (since I don't down vote). As long as people down vote..., no one will ever catch up to me, bwaaaahaha ;) 2

Probably because being a debate site, “anonymously” voting like or dislike doesn't necessarily qualify as expressing your opinion in comparison. It also hopefully gets people to think twice before down voting. Truth be told I'd rather tell someone why their argument sucks than lose a point down voting their argument. |
