Comment on Ask HN: Have you up-vote someone you disagreed with today?

Comments

Twenty minutes ago. I actually voted up someone who had responded to me. I didn't agree with their point, but someone had voted them to 0. It was still a valid part of the discussion, so I voted it back up to 1.

If I disagree with a comment, and it's at 1, I won't upvote it. But if it's less than one, I'll correctively upvote it.

I think replies to my own comments are actually easier to up-vote than comments as I'm browsing them. Generally, my rule is that if you reply to me and tell me something new (i.e. not just agreeing), you get an up-vote. If I'm replying to you, you (and usually everyone above you) almost always get an up-vote. After all, you got me to reply (something I don't do with very high frequency).

that's a good strategy.
