Comment on Tell HN: Uptick in mean-spirited commentsparent

Comments

> I agree with this comment's current point value.

That would be a really cool feature. I would often use it for comments at 0 - something that's factually wrong and needs to be voted down, but without nasty pile-on downvoting that sometimes happens, that to me looks a bit mean-spirited. If the comment in question went below zero, my 'stay' vote would count as an upvote. If it went higher, as a downvote.

I like this idea as well. It also would be easier to implement than my idea :-]
