PG said downvoting for disagreement was fine. Like it or not, that's the way the community runs and the way culture is - optimized for quality and cultural reinforcement, not freedom of speech.

Most of the time petty downvotes get balanced out or just sit at -1 anyway, it doesn't matter.

Thanks. This must have taken you a little work to dig up again.
