I bet a lot of people are self-censoring to avoid being downvoted... Unfortunately this is probably leaving out a lot of potentially great "against the grain" comments and ideas... Not to mention the herd mentality, once someone is downvoted is more likely to get downvoted again... Also I had a case of a bully who would go every day and downvote all my postings on purpose...
