Instead of having just the sum of all the votes (points := up - down), it may help to keep both up and down values as they would encompass information about both usefulness of a comment as well as how controversial it is.

Having ruminated on the subject of voting I think if it were my site I'd have several options including no vote display, up+down as seperates, comment coloring, user-based comment promotion, etc..

Then I realised that slashdot was probably closest to what I was after ... then I started going back to slashdot.
