Too easy to get down-votes when commenting

I just think most of the community is well aware that downvotes are not for 'opposition', but rather for things that do not contribute to discussion.

Then again, I am totally speculating.

But there are still people who use it as "I disagree" button, and even those who use it as a retaliation of sorts (I was (still am?) targeted by such an individual; sadly, HN's contact mail is hosted on Gmail, which likes to mark smaller servers as spam, so my contact try never got a response).
