Upvote based on the content of the link, not the person/persona behind it.
If we focus on quality (regardless of your specific definition of quality), then it can only improve the site.
If a personal friend of mine submitted a crap comment, I would downvote. Crap site, flag.
EDIT: And I upvoted you because you asked a useful question that would bring up good conversation, although obviously I disagree with your stance.
