>Downvoting is not a "I disagree" button like on Reddit You have it backwards. Everyone might not follow this rule, but reddiquette says "Please don't downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it." While pg thinks it's perfectly fine to use the downvote to express disagreement: "I think it's ok to use the up and down arrows to express agreement. Obviously the uparrows aren't only for applauding politeness, so it seems reasonable that the downarrows aren't only for booing rudeness." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171 > the fact that you're replying at all shows that it's not the latter. By that logic you should never reply to someone you downvote.
