I see a lot of downvoting for things people don't like that are factual/anecdotal. Downvote - pretty much saying "don't post that here because I don't want to hear it". If someone has done something you disagree with I think it's better to respond with a comment.

I don't check every dead comment I find, but the couple I've looked at this past week seemed OK. Dissenting opinion and not really out there.

I probably agree that it's better than other popular forums, but I disagree that the majority (I come across) should have been downvoted at all.
