>>I don't care what dang or pg say - downvoting someone because you disagree with them is stupid.

Well... I don't care what you say, downvoting based on opinion is perfectly valid and I will continue to do so as I see fit. Especially when the opinion is based on assumptions that I believe has been proven false many times in the past and rehashing the debate on HN turns into a multi-page endless arguing.... kind like this is turning into.

So your opinion on downvoting is different from mine, where does that leave us?

It leaves us with a bunch of otherwise well thought-out comments which, in spite of their quality, are hard to read for no reason other than the first person to bother to vote was having a bad day or is an idiot, etc.
