I don't think that an "agree/disagree"-axis would be very useful. If you disagree, just reply and explain your disagreement. That adds more value to the discuss

  If it were as simple as asking people to only disagree with a thoughtful response comment, it would have already been solved. The participants we actually have often can't be bothered to do more than a grunt's worth of disagreement. This gets channeled into downvotes, which carry a slight 'sting' of moral judgment, and spawn big threads like this one every so often. An outlet for one-click-disagreement separate from one-click-censure could help remedy the actual problem without requiring an unlikely change in the behavior of the mostly-anonymous, distracted downvoting hordes.
