You make good points. I up-vote well reasoned comments I don't agree with. I also up-vote comments that ask questions. I ask lots of questions on Hacker News.

You make good points. I up-vote well reasoned comments I don't agree with. I also up-vote comments that ask questions. I ask lots of questions on Hacker News.
