Downvoting direct replies is prohibited, for some good reasons. I respect those reasons and therefore refrain from upvoting also, which is a flipside of the same thing; it almost seems like a bug that it is allowed.

I have a suspicion that upvoting direct replies increases the overall standing of my post (ranking seems to aggregate positivity), so I do it with extreme prejudice -- I try to only upvote good-faith comments that disagree with or correct me.
